/Sounds like "CHAHN" (as in "chat") + "goh" (as in "go")/

Meaning

A boy, kid, or teenager in Bolivia. A warm, everyday term for a young male with no negative connotation. It is simply the common Bolivian way to refer to a young guy, equivalent to "kid" or "youngster."

Examples

That kid is already grown up and still pulling the same pranks as always.

How old is that boy? He looks too young for that.
