/Sounds like "hah" (as in "hard") + "YAHN" (as in "yard")/
A tall person, big-bodied, physically imposing in Nicaraguan Spanish. Not an insult or a pure compliment: it's honest description of someone who stands out by size. "Ese jayán" can be the giant cousin, the basketball teammate, or the neighbor who has to duck through every doorway. The word also implies some brute strength, not just height.
“That tall guy from the neighborhood plays good basketball.”
“I ran into a huge guy in the line.”
