Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "mah" (as in "mark") + "RAH" (as in "rapper") + "dah" (as in "dart")/

Meaning

A fellow fighter, trusted companion, or old friend you share struggles, ideals, or simply everyday life with. In Mexico, Argentina, and Cuba the word carries a quiet sense of loyalty and shared history, sounding more weighty than everyday slang for "friend."

Examples

That is my lifelong friend, we go all the way back to elementary school.

The comrades showed up to show support from early on.
