Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "ehs" (as in "egg") + "TAHR" (as in "tar") + "AHL" (as in "art") + "SYEHN"/

Meaning

To be at one hundred percent, fully energized and in peak condition. In Mexico, "al cien" is the gold standard: if something or someone is al cien, nothing is missing and everything is working exactly as it should. Applies to people, objects, and situations alike.

Examples

I slept well and I'm at a hundred percent for today's presentation.

The car came out of the shop running like new, totally good to go.

Regional synonyms

A hard, heavy blow that leaves a mark, either physical or financial. In Mexico, a chingadazo can be a literal hit that leaves you with a bruise, a massive bill at the end of a night, or any situation that hit you so hard you are still feeling it. The word carries serious weight.
