Bandera de México

/Sounds like "yah" (as in "yacht") + "meh" (as in "met" without "t") + "REE" (as in "reef") + "toh" (as in "toe")/

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.

Example

"We're almost there, hang on a sec."

"I'm almost done with the homework."
