A hardcore party person who treats every day like it could be a celebration and needs no excuse to get the music going. Across Argentina, Spain, Colombia, and beyond, the fiestero is the social engine — the one who organizes the plans, fills the dancefloor, and stays until the lights come on.
A Chilean expression of enthusiastic agreement, a fusion of 'ya' and the discourse marker 'poh'. It's the most Chilean way of saying yes with energy. If someone says yapo, the deal is done.
Perder la paciencia o la cabeza, o también emocionarse al máximo por algo positivo. Doble sentido de la intensidad.
A Chilean expression of firm denial, combining 'no' and the discourse marker 'poh'. It sounds soft but it's definitive. One of the most recognizable expressions of the Chilean accent.
To go overboard, lose control, or completely exceed all reasonable limits. In Chile when someone goes al chancho they've blown past every acceptable boundary in the situation.
