Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like the English word "zet" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/

Meaning

To sleep, take a nap, or rest. In Mexico, 'zetear' comes from the zzz symbol for sleep and is used casually among younger people when talking about dozing off, crashing early, or sneaking in a nap. The most honest verb for doing absolutely nothing productive.

Examples

I'm going to sleep, call me later.

He was supposed to study but ended up napping the whole afternoon.

To approach someone to talk to them, especially with the intent to flirt. In Argentina, encarar takes courage because it means going straight up with no excuses or beating around the bush.
