Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "pahn" (as in "park") + "tah" (as in "tar") + "YEH" (as in "yes") + "roh" (as in "row")/

Meaning

Examples

Stop being a show-off and buying things you don't need just to flaunt them.

That guy showed up with the new iPhone but owes three months of rent.

A romantic male partner or boyfriend in Chile. "Pololear" is the act of dating someone in a committed, formal way (without living together), the Chilean equivalent of "noviazgo" in other Spanish-speaking countries.
