Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "teh" (as in "ten") + "NEHR" (as in "net") + "FYAH" + "kah" (as in "car")/

Meaning

To have extreme, deep, immovable laziness, when you absolutely refuse to do anything that requires the slightest effort. It's Argentina's most relatable state of being, especially on winter mornings.

Examples

I'm so lazy I don't even want to get out of bed.

On Mondays I always wake up with this impossible laziness.

Word family

To drop out or walk away from a situation you no longer want to be part of. From the card game metaphor: when you fold, you are out and nobody can make you play a hand you do not want. Used in Argentina to mean quitting a conversation, group, or commitment.
