/Sounds like "kohr" (as in "coat") + "TAHR" (as in "tar") + "lah" (as in "lava")/
In Argentina, to stop doing something or cut out a behavior. "Cortala" is the direct, firm way to tell someone to quit a topic, a noise, or an attitude. Stronger than "please stop" but less aggressive than an insult.
“Cortala con ese tema, ya lo hablamos mil veces.”
“Drop that topic already, we've talked about it a thousand times.”
“¡Córtenla con el ruido que estoy intentando dormir!”
“Cut it out with the noise, I'm trying to sleep!”
