/Sounds like "SOH" (as in "solo") + "teh" (as in "ten")/

Meaning

A slow or ignorant person who does not learn no matter how many times you explain something to them. In Spain this is the insult you reach for when you have completely run out of patience trying to make someone understand.

Examples

That dimwit failed the same exam four times in a row.

What a dunce, I already explained it to you three times!

Regional synonyms

To stay quiet and not react to something unfair out of fear, conformity, or cowardice. In Colombia and Venezuela, 'achantarse' is letting yourself get walked all over without protesting.
