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

/Sounds like "tahr" (as in "tar") + "HEH" (as in "help") + "tah" (as in "tar")/

Meaning

A payment card, either debit or credit. In Mexico, asking for the terminal to pay with card is normal in most stores and restaurants, although markets, street stalls, and neighborhood taquerías still prefer cash. Always carry both, because half the city runs on plastic and the other half doesn't.

Examples

Can I pay with card?

The card reader isn't working, do you have cash?

Regional synonyms

A wildcard Venezuelan exclamation (especially in Zulia state) expressing shock, annoyance, or emphasis, or used as a filler in almost any sentence. It's said so often that it has lost most of its vulgar edge and become everyday speech.
