/kah-cheh-TAH-dah/
A slap across the face, open-handed and sharp. Across Latin America a cachetada is the classic disciplinary gesture — or the ultimate insult in a fight.
"She slapped him so hard the whole room heard it."
"One more word out of you and you're getting a smack."
/Sounds like 'kah-cheh-TAH-dah'/
A slap across the face with an open hand. A cachetada hurts less than a closed fist but carries more humiliation — it's theatrical, personal, and impossible to forget regardless of which side of it you're on.
"She slapped him and walked out without saying a word."
"A slap like that you don't forget."
