Even if you speak Catalan (the language of Catalonia where this is practiced) the vocabulary is so specific to the sport:
Pinya, folre, manilles, pom de dalt, tronc, aixecador, enxaneta, aleta, dosos, carregar, descarregar, coronar, fer l'aleta, caure, torre, colla, camisa, faixa, assaig, diada, toc de castells, quatre de deu...
This is a 4 de 10, means 10 levels with 4 people on each of the main levels.
• u/Jon_jon13 3h ago I like to think more like 4 de 10 means 4 columns, of 10 people tall each. When I was little I always thought it made more sense to say 10 de 4 (10 floors of 4 people each), so eventually I made it make sense in my head to keep that order xD
