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

/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "lee" (as in "lead") + "DAHD" (as in "dart")/

Meaning

An expression of approval meaning something is great, top-notch, or exactly right. In Mexico and other Latin countries, 'calidad' said with the right tone is a full endorsement, no qualifiers needed, it just means 'that's the real deal'.

Examples

¡Calidad! Eso es exactamente lo que necesitaba.

Quality! That's exactly what I needed.

This restaurant is pure quality, I come back often.

Regional synonyms

A substitute player who does not start the game but is ready to enter at any moment. Across Spain and Latin America, being a suplente means waiting for your chance on the bench, and sometimes that wait ends with the most important play of the whole match.
