Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "ahn" (as in "art") + "DAHR" (as in "dart") + "seh" (as in "set") + "KOHN" (as in "coat") + "OH" (as in "oh") + "hoh" (as in "hope")/

Meaning

To be careful, stay alert, and keep your guard up. In Spain, "andarse con ojo" is a practical warning from someone who knows the terrain: pay attention, because whoever or whatever is ahead is not to be trusted and you cannot afford to relax.

Examples

Ándate con ojo con ese tipo, que no es de fiar.

Watch yourself around that guy, he cannot be trusted.

Hay que andarse con ojo por esa zona de noche.

You have to be careful in that area at night, keep your eyes open.

A pre-game gathering to drink alcohol before heading out to the actual party in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. The previa is often more fun than the actual event, cheaper drinks, better music, and your closest friends.
