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

/Sounds like "pah" (as in "park") + "SAHR" (as in "salsa") + "seh" (as in "set") + "lah" (as in "lava") + "BYEHN"/

Meaning

To have a good time and enjoy yourself, the basic goal of any social plan worth showing up for. Used across Latin America and Spain for trips, parties, or everyday hangouts. When someone asks "¿cómo te la pasaste?" they want to know if you actually had fun.

Examples

We had a great time on the trip, not a single bit of drama.

How was the party? Did you have a good time?

In Spain, a thick egg dish usually made with potatoes and sometimes onion, cooked in a pan. The tortilla española is a national treasure and the eternal debate is whether it should include onion or not.
