Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "PEH" (as in "pet") + "gah" (as in "garden")/

Meaning

A job or work in Chile. 'Finding pega' means getting a job and 'being without pega' means being unemployed. It's the standard Chilean word for employment.

Examples

I found a new pega downtown.

I've been looking for pega for months and nothing good comes up.
