Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "seh" (as in "set") + "roh" (as in "row") + "toh" (as in "toll") + "NEE" (as in "knee") + "nah" (as in "nacho")/

Meaning

A small, simple pleasure that gives you an instant mood boost. Used colloquially across Latin America and Spain for anything that delivers a little hit of everyday happiness: morning coffee in the sun, a funny meme, a song that catches you off guard.

Examples

Having your morning coffee in the sunlight is pure serotonin.

That photo gave me exactly the mood boost I needed today.

Regional synonyms

A working-class person who grinds every day without complaint or fanfare. In Spain, "currela" (from the slang verb "currar," to work) is worn with a certain pride: you are not the boss, you are not management, you are the one who actually does the work and keeps things running.
