Bandera de Chile

/Sounds like 'teh-NEE-dah'/

An outfit, attire, or complete look for a specific occasion. In Chile, tenida is the word for whatever you're wearing to an event — it implies intention and a put-together look, not just random clothes you threw on.

Example

"I put together an incredible outfit for the wedding."

"Do you already have something to wear for Friday's event?"

Regional synonyms:

Negocio turbio o trampa para obtener algo de forma deshonesta. Se usa para hablar de maniobras poco éticas, desde tranzas políticas hasta trampitas en el trabajo.
