/Sounds like "TRAHN" (as in "tract") + "see" (as in "see") + "toh" (as in "toll")/
Traffic, the flow of vehicles through city streets and avenues. In Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Uruguay, talking about el transito usually means complaining about the gridlock that turns a fifteen-minute trip into an hour-long ordeal.
“El tránsito a esta hora es una pesadilla, no avanza nada.”
“Traffic at this hour is a nightmare, nothing is moving.”
“Hubo un accidente y cortaron el tránsito en la avenida principal.”
“There was an accident and they shut down traffic on the main avenue.”

Mejenga
An informal pickup soccer game between friends, no league, no referee, just pure street football on any available patch of ground. In Costa Rica, the mejenga is a social institution: on weekends and after work, groups of Ticos gather to play for the joy of playing. No other Spanish-speaking country uses this exact word.
