/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "REH" (as in "red") + "toh" (as in "toll")/
In Spain, someone's face, especially when they look rough from lack of sleep, a hangover, or stress. Having a bad careto means you look like you've been through it.
“What a careto on you - didn't you sleep at all?”
“If someone sees me with this careto I'll die.”
/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "REH" (as in "red") + "toh" (as in "toll")/
A person with a permanent serious, sour expression, the one who never smiles and seems perpetually unimpressed. In Venezuela, careto is the label for the stone-faced individual whose face communicates disapproval even at a party.
“Todo el evento estuvo careto, sin reírse una sola vez.”
“He was stone-faced the whole event, didn't crack a single smile.”
“Don't be so sour-faced, it's a party, not a funeral.”
