Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "moh" (as in "more") + "goh" (as in "go") + "YOHN" (as in "yoke")/

Meaning

A huge amount of something, a whole lot, a ton of it in Spain. Used when you want to emphasize that there's an absurd quantity of something without getting into exact numbers. It works for things, people, and situations, and it's one of those uniquely Spanish words that you hear constantly on the streets of Madrid.

Examples

There were a ton of people at the festival.

I have a ton of things to do and I don't know where to start.

In Spain, cute, pretty, or well put-together. Used naturally to compliment people, clothing, places, and objects alike. Does not carry the negative connotations it might have in other Spanish-speaking countries, where chulo can mean arrogant or pimpy.
