Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "AHR" (as in "art") + "toh" (as in "toll")/

Meaning

A lot, plenty, a huge amount, Chile's universal intensifier that supercharges anything. Harto cold, harto expensive, I like it harto. It's the Chilean version of 'very' taken to the extreme.

Examples

I like that band harto, I listen to them all the time.

It's harto cold today, bring your jacket.
