/Sounds like "koh" (as in "coat") + "HEHR" (as in "help") + "EHL" (as in "egg") + "TREHN" (as in "tread")/
In Spain, to catch an opportunity before it passes, to get on board something promising before it leaves without you. Whoever doesn't catch the train gets left standing on the platform watching it go.
“You should have jumped on the crypto wave when you had the chance.”
“You have to get on the language train while you're still young.”
