What does “arriba de eso” mean in Spanish?

She is already stressed about getting videos ready in time. Then she says “Y arriba de eso estoy un poco mareada” — “and on top of that I feel a little dizzy.” “Arriba de eso” is how she stacks a second problem onto the first one. It is casual, spoken Spanish, the kind of phrase you hear when someone lists things going wrong. Listen for it as the moment that links her two complaints together.

In the clip: “Y arriba de eso estoy un poco mareada, no sé por qué.” — “And on top of that I feel a little dizzy, I don’t know why.” “Arriba de eso” literally means “above that,” but in speech it means “on top of that” or “and besides.” People use it to add one more point, usually a bad one, to something they just said. More examples: - “Llegué tarde, y arriba de eso me olvidé las llaves.” — “I got there late, and on top of that I forgot my keys.” - “Hace mucho calor, y arriba de eso no anda el ventilador.” — “It’s really hot, and on top of that the fan doesn’t work.” - “Estoy cansado, y arriba de eso me duele la cabeza.” — “I’m tired, and on top of that my head hurts.” Notes: This is everyday spoken Spanish, common in Argentina. In other places people often say “encima de eso” or just “encima” for the same idea. It almost always comes before more bad news, not good news.
