Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "chahn" (as in "chat") + "KAHR" (as in "car")/

Meaning

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.

Examples

I need to cram hard for tomorrow's exam.

I was studying all night and it still went badly.

Venezuela's iconic green sauce made with avocado, cilantro, green pepper, and vinegar. The go-to condiment for arepas, grilled meats, and tequeños. Every Venezuelan family guards their own version like a state secret.
