/Sounds like "DYAHN-treh"/
A Puerto Rican euphemism for "diablo" (devil), used as an exclamation of frustration, surprise, or emphasis without resorting to the stronger word. "Diantre, qué calor" is a softened complaint about the weather. "Qué diantre está pasando" is an astonished question. Also used to avoid offending: if someone says "del diantre" instead of "del diablo," it marks a family or respectful context.
"Diantre, se me olvidó la llave. → Dang it, I forgot the key."
"Qué diantre está pasando. → What the heck is happening."
