Bandera de México

/Sounds like "noh" (as in "no") + "kah" (as in "car") + "PEH" (as in "pet" without "t") + "ah" (as in "father")/

Doesn't understand, can't grasp, or can't handle something. It comes from 'capear' (to catch) — if you 'no capeas,' you're not catching what's being thrown at you.

Example

"He doesn't get math at all."

"She can't handle the pressure, it's too much for her."
