Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "maht" (as in "mark") + "cheh" (as in "check") + "AHR" (as in "art")/

Meaning

To match with someone on a dating app like Tinder or Bumble, or for two people to simply click and connect naturally. "Matchear" entered Spanish straight from English as apps took over dating culture and is now used without a second thought across Spain and most of Latin America.

Examples

I matched with three people yesterday but nobody ever writes first, as usual.

I felt like we clicked from the very first day we talked.

Regional synonyms
