/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "TREE" (as in "tree") + "nah" (as in "nacho")/
An iconic Mexican figure associated with the Day of the Dead, depicting an elegantly dressed skeleton with a wide hat. Originally created by engraver Jose Guadalupe Posada in the early 1900s as social commentary, La Catrina became a national symbol. The word is also used colloquially to describe a very elegant and striking woman.
“The altar at the market has a beautifully detailed catrina surrounded by marigolds.”
“She arrived dressed as a catrina for the Day of the Dead parade and everyone wanted a photo with her.”

Chévere que sí
A strong enthusiastic yes, Venezuelan and Caribbean expression for total agreement and excitement. Beyond just 'okay', chévere que sí is an expression of genuine enthusiasm: I'm in, I love it, absolutely let's do it.
