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

/Sounds like the English word "chat" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/

Meaning

To text or chat back and forth via any messaging app. The most normalized English loanword in digital Spanish, used from Spain to Argentina without a second thought. It fits naturally into everyday speech and everyone knows what it means.

Examples

We have been texting for hours and haven't said anything that actually matters.

Text me when you get there.

Textear

To cause problems, make a scene, or create unnecessary drama over something that does not deserve it. In Mexico, this is the phrase for that person who always looks for a fight or complains way too much. If someone "la hace de pedo," they are turning a small thing into a big deal.
