How it's actually used

*Trae copete* means bring drinks. *Andar con copete* is being tipsy, and *copetear* is drinking. Standard before any *carrete*.

Examples

Where it comes from

From an old word for the top of a glass — the pour.

Before you say it

Casual. In a restaurant just name the drink.

Now actually use it out loud

Reading a definition isn't the same as saying it to someone. Lingo Kaiava is a voice tutor set to Chilean Spanish — it uses copete the way locals do, corrects you in the moment, and never "fixes" the way real people actually talk into textbook Chilean Spanish.
