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

/Sounds like "poo" (as in "pool") + "LEHN" (as in "let") + "toh" (as in "toll")/

Meaning

Excellent, amazing, top quality. In Chile, "pulento" is the ultimate compliment for something that blew you away, whether it is food, a soccer play, or a weekend plan. It is pure Chilean enthusiasm packed into one word that you will hear constantly on the streets of Santiago.

Examples

That play was incredible, the goal was next level.
