Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "KEH" (as in "kept") + the English word "no" (same pronunciation) + "SEH" (as in "set") + "TEH" (as in "ten") + "PAH" (as in "park") + "seh" (as in "set")/

Meaning

A reminder not to forget something important. The Mexican way of giving someone a heads-up without being pushy. It lands somewhere between a gentle nudge and a firm reminder.

Examples

Don't forget, okay? Tomorrow at eight.
