/Sounds like "reh" (as in "red") + "SYEHN"/

Meaning

In Argentina, Chile, and the Southern Cone, it means 'just now' or 'a moment ago', something that happened very recently. It's used on its own as an adverb, unlike in Spain where it needs a past participle.

Examples

I just got here, like two minutes ago.

He just left, you barely missed him.
