/Sounds like "choh" (as in "chose") + "KAHN" (as in "car") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
Annoying, irritating, insufferable. Across Latin America someone chocante is the person who rubs everyone the wrong way just by existing, even their laugh is grating.
“That guy always has to contradict everything you say.”
“So irritating: he showed up late and then complained about everything on top of it.”
/Sounds like "choh" (as in "chose") + "KAHN" (as in "car") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
Annoying or off-putting in a way that grates on your nerves, often without the person realizing it. In Colombia and Venezuela, calling someone chocante means their attitude or presence makes you uncomfortable. Not a harsh insult, but the rejection is clear enough.
“That coworker is so irritating, he always cuts people off when they are talking.”
“What an obnoxious guy, I have no idea how anyone puts up with him at the office.”
/Sounds like "choh" (as in "chose") + "KAHN" (as in "car") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
