Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "yeh" (as in "yes") + "BAHR" (as in "bar") + "EHL" (as in "egg") + "ah" (as in "art") + "POON" (as in "pool") + "teh" (as in "ten")/

Meaning

In Chile, to pay attention to someone, acknowledge them, or take what they say into account. "Llevarle el apunte" means giving someone recognition. If nobody llevas el apunte, you are being deliberately ignored, which is often exactly the point.

Examples

Nobody listens to him in meetings, even though he has good ideas.

He only pays you any attention when he needs something from you.

To speak with complete honesty and no holds barred, putting everything on the table without sugarcoating. In Mexico, saying things "a calzón quitado" means being brutally direct.
