/Sounds like "koh" (as in "coat") + "TOH" (as in "toll") + "rrah"/
Fun, lively, free-flowing conversation where the chat just takes on a life of its own. When there is cotorra, nobody wants the moment to end. Used in Mexico and Colombia.
“We spent the whole afternoon just chatting and didn't even notice the time passing.”
“The conversation at the gathering was so good we ended up staying until midnight.”
/Sounds like "koh" (as in "coat") + "TOH" (as in "toll") + "rrah"/
A person who talks excessively and nonstop about any topic that crosses their mind. Like the parrot the word comes from, a cotorra never shuts up and can turn a two-minute story into a two-hour monologue.
“She's such a chatterbox, she can talk for hours without stopping.”
“My neighbor is a cotorra, she tells me her whole life every time I see her.”
/Sounds like "koh" (as in "coat") + "TOH" (as in "toll") + "rrah"/

Ahora
In Colombia, 'ahora' can mean 'later' or 'in a while,' not necessarily right now. Watch out for the confusion: if a Colombian says 'ahora voy,' they might take a good while to actually show up.
