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") + "EHN" (as in "egg") + "OH" (as in "oh") + "trah" (as in "tract")/

Meaning

To be completely spaced out, mentally somewhere else, not paying any attention to what's happening around you. The person who is "en otra" seems to be living in their own private movie.

Examples

I'm talking to you and you're completely zoned out, what's going on?

I was totally spaced out the whole meeting and have no idea what they talked about.

A Chilean all-purpose "yes" or "sure thing," formed by contracting "ya" (already/okay) with the filler "poh" (a softened "pues"). It seals agreements with a warm, casual vibe that is very typical of Chilean informal speech. Think of it as "yeah, sure" with extra friendliness.
