/Sounds like "chahn" (as in "chat") + "KAHR" (as in "car")/
To study intensely, to burn the midnight oil with your books until your brain cannot take any more. In Peru, "chancar" is the verb of every university student during exam season, pulling all nighters and cramming everything into one desperate, coffee fueled session.
“I need to cram hard for tomorrow's exam.”
“I was studying all night and it still went badly.”
