/Sounds like "poh" (as in "port") + "loh" (as in "loan") + "LEE" (as in "lead") + "toh" (as in "toll")/
A boyfriend or girlfriend in an informal, low-commitment romantic relationship. The diminutive of "pololo," Chile's word for a romantic partner. "Pololito" adds a tender, slightly casual tone: not quite official yet, but not just friends either.
“She's had a new boyfriend for a month but hasn't introduced him to the family yet.”
“She asked me if I had a boyfriend and I turned red.”
/Sounds like "poh" (as in "port") + "loh" (as in "loan") + "LEE" (as in "lead") + "toh" (as in "toll")/
A small informal gig or side hustle you pick up to earn extra cash in Chile. It is what you look for when the month is tight and you need money without committing to a full job. Think odd jobs, freelance tasks, or anything that pays quickly.
“I picked up a little delivery gig in the afternoons.”
“Know of any side gigs? I'm short on cash this month.”
/Sounds like "poh" (as in "port") + "loh" (as in "loan") + "LEE" (as in "lead") + "toh" (as in "toll")/
A one-time job that is not on any payroll or contract. In Chile, it is the quick fix when money is running out, whatever comes your way before the end of the month. Similar to a gig or odd job in English, but with a warmer, more informal feel.
“He got a little gig cleaning windows downtown.”
“He is looking for odd jobs to scrape together rent money.”
/Sounds like "poh" (as in "port") + "loh" (as in "loan") + "LEE" (as in "lead") + "toh" (as in "toll")/
A temporary or informal side gig to earn extra cash in Chile, those small jobs you take on when you need money and can't be picky about what you do.
“I'm doing a few odd jobs to pay rent.”
“She found a small gig babysitting on weekends.”
