Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "KWEHN" (as in "quest") + "tah" (as in "tar") + "meh" (as in "met") + "OH" (as in "oh") + "trah" (as in "tract")/

Meaning

An expression of total disbelief, the response you give when someone says something you find utterly unconvincing. The Spanish equivalent of "yeah, right" or "pull the other one." Used widely across Spanish-speaking countries.

Examples

He was late because of traffic? Yeah, right.

He told me he had no idea what happened and I said sure, tell me another one.

Word family

A Guatemalan word for "quiet," "shh," or "pipe down." It is the Chapín version of the universal shh sound turned into an actual word you can say out loud. "¡Sho vos!" means be quiet already, and it works among friends, siblings, or anyone who needs to lower their voice immediately.
