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

/Sounds like "ehn" (as in "egg") + "roh" (as in "row") + "YAHR" (as in "yard") + "seh" (as in "set")/

Meaning

Can mean making out with someone, or talking too much without ever getting to the point. In Spain, enrollarse has this double meaning and only context tells you if it was romantic or just tedious.

Examples

They enrollaron at the club and now they're dating.

Don't enrollarte so much and just tell me what you want.

/Sounds like "ehn" (as in "egg") + "roh" (as in "row") + "YAHR" (as in "yard") + "seh" (as in "set")/

Meaning

To ramble on and on without getting to the point, going around in circles before saying what you actually mean. In Spain, the person who "se enrolla" tests the patience of everyone listening: you can see the destination but they refuse to take the direct route.

Examples

Stop rambling and tell me what you want.

He spent twenty minutes explaining something that could have been said in one sentence.

A compliment tossed at someone in public, usually about their looks. In Spanish-speaking cultures, piropos range from poetic verses to blunt flattery. How welcome they are depends entirely on context and tone: street piropos are increasingly seen as unwanted in big cities.
