Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like the English word "polol" + "EH" (as in "egg") + "oh" (as in "oh")/

Meaning

The Chilean word for dating someone officially. It is not a casual situationship or a fling: pololeo means you are boyfriend and girlfriend, you introduce each other as a couple. Completely unique to Chilean Spanish.

Examples

We have been together for six months and things are going great.

What about that guy, is it a serious thing or are you still just hanging out?
