Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "hoh" (as in "hope") + "roh" (as in "row") + "BAHR" (as in "bar")/

Meaning

To bother, annoy, or get in the way of something. In Spain and Latin America, jorobar is a softer alternative to a stronger word, it means to mess something up or irritate someone, but with a slight sense of resigned frustration.

Examples

Me joroba que siempre llegues tarde.

It really bugs me that you always show up late.

Don't bother me, I'm trying to concentrate.

Word family

Pretty, attractive, or pleasant to look at. One of the most versatile compliments in Spanish because it works for people, places, and things alike without sounding over the top. You can call a baby, a sunset, or your date "bonito/bonita" and it lands perfectly every time.
