/Sounds like 'KAH-cho'/

A piece or small portion of something. In Chile and other countries, 'un cacho' is an undefined chunk — a bit of time, a bit of food, a piece of something larger. Also used in Chile as a problem or inconvenience.

Example

"Dame un cacho de eso, que quiero probar."

"Ese trámite es un cacho, llevo tres días sin resolverlo. → Give me a piece of that, I want to try it."

"That errand is a hassle, I've been trying to sort it out for three days."

Regional synonyms:

Algo bueno, agradable, tranquilo o persona relajada y de buena onda. En Argentina se usa para describir tanto cosas positivas como actitudes discretas y sin drama.
