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

/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "PAHR" (as in "park")/

Meaning

To skip class or ditch school without telling anyone. In Chile and Peru, capar is the classic student move of sneaking off before a teacher notices, usually with friends and always with better plans.

Examples

We ditched history class and headed to the park.

If they catch you skipping, you get suspended.

Word family

An informal deal, hustle, or small trade operating outside the formal economy. In Bolivia, bisne (from the English word "business") covers any small-scale or unregistered economic activity: a side deal, a quick transaction, or a hustle to make ends meet.
