Yapo
/Sounds like "YAH" (as in "yard") + "poh" (as in "port")/
A Chilean all-purpose "yes" or "sure thing," formed by contracting "ya" (already/okay) with the filler "poh" (a softened "pues"). It seals agreements with a warm, casual vibe that is very typical of Chilean informal speech. Think of it as "yeah, sure" with extra friendliness.
“You coming to the party tonight? Yapo, count me in.”
“Yapo, I'll wait for you at the entrance at eight.”

Estar en el séptimo cielo
To be at the peak of happiness or satisfaction, on top of the world. This expression is shared across the Spanish-speaking world and has roots in medieval cosmology, which placed paradise at the seventh and highest celestial level. When life hits its best moment, you are on cloud nine.
