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.

An ironic Spanish expression for something that arrived way too late to be of any use. Used when help, news, or action finally shows up long after it could have made a real difference. The full phrase is often "a buenas horas mangas verdes," referring to the green-sleeved officers who always showed up after the trouble was already over.
