/Sounds like "KOH" (as in "coat") + "moh" (as in "more") + "EHS" (as in "egg") + "tye" (as in "tie")/

Meaning

The casual Chilean way of saying "how are you," using the local voseo-style conjugation. It is the most relaxed and common greeting between friends in Chile.

Examples

Hey man, how are you, haven't seen you in ages.

How are you doing, everything good at home?

Regional synonyms

A Mexican and Chicano expression meaning "don't exaggerate," "don't lie," or "don't go too far." You use it when someone says something hard to believe, asks for too much, or pushes a joke past the limit. Not a heavy insult in Mexico: it's normal pushback between close friends.
