/Sounds like "tah" (as in "tar") + "rahn" (as in "rapper") + "TEEN" (as in "tea")/

Meaning

A makeshift street stall or tiny informal business cobbled together from whatever is available in Venezuela. The "tarantín" is that little table or kiosk set up on a corner to sell things.

Examples

She set up a little empanada stand on the corner and it's doing well.

I bought the cigarettes at the street stall on the avenue.

Regional synonyms

To chat or have a relaxed, friendly conversation without a specific agenda. Used across Spain, Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile, a "charla" can stretch for hours with no goal beyond the simple pleasure of good company and easy talk.
