/Sounds like "EER" (as in "eagle") + "AHL" (as in "art") + "FREHN" (as in "fresh") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
To confront someone directly, or to rat someone out without hesitation. In Argentina, "ir al frente" can be brave or treacherous depending on context: sometimes it means having the courage to speak up, sometimes it means going to the boss to report a coworker. The person who goes to the front does not hide.
“He went straight to the boss and told him everything that had happened.”
“If you know he did something wrong, speaking up is the right call.”
