Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "DYAH" + "cheh" (as in "check")/

Meaning

An exclamation of surprise, shock, or disapproval used in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. "Diache" is the polite, softened version of a stronger word, but the emotion behind it is just as real. Think "damn!" or "whoa!" with full Caribbean energy.

Examples

Damn, don't tell me we missed the flight for nothing!

Whoa, how did they not warn you about such an important change beforehand?

Regional synonyms

Drunk or hammered in Chilean Spanish, the kind of drunk that shows in someone's face and wobbly walk. It comes from "copete," which is the Chilean word for booze, so copeteado literally means "full of copete." A very Chilean way to say someone overdid it.
