Honduran — what Hondurans call themselves.
Used with strong national pride, especially around the football team. "Catracha" for a woman.
From General Florencio Xatruch, who led Honduran troops against William Walker in Nicaragua in 1856. "Xatruches" became "catrachos."
Reading a definition isn't the same as saying it to someone. Lingo Kaiava is a voice tutor set to Honduran Spanish — it uses catracho the way locals do, corrects you in the moment, and never "fixes" the way real people actually talk into textbook Honduran Spanish.
