Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "GAH" (as in "garden") + "rwah"/

Meaning

A fine, persistent drizzle typical of Lima that isn't quite rain but still gets you wet. It defines Lima's gloomy winter weather, not dramatic enough for an umbrella but annoying enough to ruin your hair.

Examples

The drizzle in Lima lasts for months, you never see the sun.

It's not rain, it's just that annoying drizzle again.

The Chilean word for dating someone officially. It is not a casual situationship or a fling: pololeo means you are boyfriend and girlfriend, you introduce each other as a couple. Completely unique to Chilean Spanish.
