/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "CHEH" (as in "check") + "tehs" (as in "ten")/
Butt, buttocks in Argentina and Uruguay. In most other Spanish-speaking countries "cachetes" means cheeks on your face, but in the Río de la Plata it means the other set of cheeks entirely. Context matters a lot here.
“Look at the glutes on that person.”
“Those jeans fit her perfectly, they really show off her figure.”
/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "CHEH" (as in "check") + "tehs" (as in "ten")/
Cheeks, especially when they're chubby and squeezable. The part of the face that grandmas always want to pinch while telling you how big you've gotten, a universal Latin American experience at family gatherings.
“That baby has the most adorable cachetes.”
“My aunts always squeeze my cachetes.”
