Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "mahn" (as in "mark") + "DAHR" (as in "dart") + "seh" (as in "set")/

Meaning

To do something without asking permission or to throw yourself into an action impulsively in Argentina. It's acting first and thinking later, with that confidence that can go great or end in total disaster.

Examples

He jumped into the pool without asking.

I went on a solo trip to the mountains on impulse.

Word family

To take a comment or joke personally when it was not aimed at you. In Mexico, someone who "se toma el palo" gets defensive over something that had nothing to do with them, which usually just confirms everyone else's suspicion that it actually did.
