Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "YAH" (as in "yard") + "meh" (as in "met") + "REE" (as in "reed") + "toh" (as in "toll")/

Meaning

Almost there, about to arrive, just a tiny bit left. It's the Mexican expression for when you're so close to the goal you can feel it, but that 'ya merito' can last five minutes or a whole hour.

Examples

We're almost there, hang on a sec.

I'm almost done with the homework.
