Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "YAH" (as in "yard") + "ehs" (as in "egg") + "TOO" (as in "tool") + "boh" (as in "boat")/

Meaning

That's it, it's over, we're done here. In Mexico, it's the definitive phrase to end something, whether a relationship, an argument, or your patience.

Examples

Ya estuvo, I'm leaving, I can't take it anymore.

Ya estuvo with the games, get serious already.

Regional synonyms

A Spanish expression for someone who absolutely refuses to work, not even lifting a finger. The imagery comes from rowing: not giving a single stroke means not moving at all. Always used in the negative, always with a tone of reproach.
