/Sounds like "reh" (as in "red" without "d") + "SEEEHN"/

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.

Example

"I just got here, like two minutes ago."

"He just left, you barely missed him."
