Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "LEE" (as in "lead") + "soh" (as in "solo")/

Meaning

A small draft beer, the Uruguayan equivalent of a "cana" in Spain or a small pour in Argentina. The standard size when you stop at a Montevideo bar after work and order a cold one. No fuss, just a short glass of draught.

Examples

Give me a small draft, please.

We had a few small beers at the corner bar.

Caña

Chile's most versatile word, functioning as a filler, an insult, or a term of endearment depending entirely on tone. Between friends it is a warm greeting; said in anger it is a genuine insult. Works much like "boludo" in Argentina or "güey" in Mexico, the context does all the heavy lifting.
