/ˈpoli/ · B1 · adj
cop
🚓 poli = clipped policía, like cop from copper; also clipped poliamoroso
Spanish shortens long words: policía becomes poli, the everyday word for a cop. Poliamoroso shortens the same way, from Greek poly (many) + amor (love). Use context to tell them apart: el poli is a police officer, while soy poli describes a person.
