/Sounds like "chee" (as in "cheek") + "BYAHR"/

Meaning

To snitch on someone, sharing compromising information with whoever should not have it. In Colombia, "chiviar" is the classic social betrayal: going to the teacher, the boss, or the principal without warning the group. If someone chivió on you, your trust in them is gone.

Examples

He snitched to the principal and they got suspended for three days.

Don't tell on me, what happens here stays here.
