Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "KLAH" (as in "clap") + "roh" (as in "row") + "KEH" (as in "kept") + "SEE" (as in "see")/

Meaning

Of course, absolutely, sure. Used widely across Central America to agree warmly and without hesitation. "Claro que sí" is the standard polite response in service contexts and everyday conversation: it signals genuine willingness, not just a plain yes.

Examples

Can you help me with this? Of course, with pleasure!

Are you coming tomorrow? Of course, I'll be there without fail.

Regional synonyms

A vulgar, trashy, or street smart person with bad manners in Chile. It's a derogatory term describing a specific social stereotype, similar to "chav" in British English or "ratchet" in American slang. Being called a flaite in Chile is definitely not a compliment, it implies loud, aggressive, and classless behavior.
