/Sounds like 'mon-TAR'/
To scold someone harshly, rip into them, or give them a thorough chewing-out. In Colombia, when someone monta you, they're laying into you with everything they've got — loudly, directly, and probably in front of others.
"Le montaron una cantaleta que se escuchó en todo el edificio."
"La profesora la montó por llegar tarde tres días seguidos. → They gave him such a thorough scolding it was heard throughout the whole building."
"The teacher tore into her for showing up late three days in a row."
