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

/Sounds like "teh" (as in "ten") + "NEHR" (as in "net") + "lah" (as in "lava") + "KLAH" (as in "clap") + "rah" (as in "rapper")/

Meaning

To know exactly what you want and how to get it, with no doubts or second-guessing. Someone who la tiene clara does not waste time going around in circles. They know where they are headed and they go there.

Examples

That entrepreneur really has it figured out. He knows exactly where he is going.

At your age I was nowhere near as clear-headed as you are right now.

Regional synonyms

An unbearably annoying person who keeps pestering you about the same thing until you lose your patience. In Argentina and Uruguay this is the go-to label for someone who simply will not leave you alone, no matter how many times you have already answered them.
