Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "ehn" (as in "egg") + "reh" (as in "red") + "DAH" (as in "dart") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

Tangled up in a complicated situation or a messy relationship with no clear way out. In Mexico and Central America, someone who is enredado is too deep in whatever they got themselves into to see the exit clearly.

Examples

He is seeing two people at the same time and cannot figure out how to get out of it.

I got so tangled up in that contract I now need a lawyer just to understand it.

A shy, bookish, or socially awkward person who comes across as naive and unworldly. Think the kid who always had their nose in a textbook and never really hung out after school. In Chile and Argentina the word can sting a little or feel almost affectionate depending on who says it and how.
