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

/Sounds like "trahn" (as in "tract") + "KAH" (as in "car") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

In Bolivia, stuck in traffic or completely gridlocked with no way to move. Widely used in La Paz and Santa Cruz when the streets collapse and nothing budges.

Examples

I arrived late because I was stuck on the bridge for an hour.

Regional synonyms

A Nicaraguan, someone from Nicaragua. It's the short, informal, affectionate way to refer to someone from that country, used proudly by Nicaraguans themselves and everyone in Central America.
