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

To chat in a fun, chill, relaxed way with friends, cracking jokes and laughing without taking anything seriously. In Mexico it's the verb for those informal conversations where humor flows and nobody's in a rush.
