/Sounds like "reh" (as in "red") + "AHL" (as in "art")/

Meaning

Money in Venezuela, a term that comes from the colonial Spanish coin "real" and has survived centuries of inflation. When a Venezuelan says "no tengo reales," they're flat broke, not a bolívar to their name.

Examples

I don't have a single real to eat.

That job doesn't pay a single real.

Word family

The vibe and energy for going out at night. In Spain, a city or person "with marcha" has a buzzing night scene and the drive to enjoy it until dawn. Madrid is famous for its marcha, where nights start late and end at sunrise.
