Get your words out of ChatGPT.
AI chat is a great teacher and a bad notebook. It explains a word beautifully, then buries it under paragraphs you will never scroll back to. Keep using it to learn. Stop using it to store.
The same word, two places
One buries it. One keeps it.
Ask ChatGPT what a word means and the answer is genuinely good, just wrapped in so much else that the meaning is gone the moment you scroll. Koboshi keeps the one line you actually needed.
Great question! Sobremesa is a wonderful and quite charming Spanish word that, interestingly, has no single direct equivalent in English, which is part of what makes it so fun to explore. Let me break it down for you thoroughly.
Etymology
It is formed from two parts: sobre, meaning “over” or “on top of,” and mesa, meaning “table.” So literally it gestures at something like “over-the-table,” which gives you a nice mental image to anchor the meaning.
What it actually means
In everyday use, sobremesa refers to the time spent lingering at the table after a meal, talking and relaxing once the food is finished. It is less an activity than a cherished social ritual.
Cultural context
In Spain and across much of Latin America, the sobremesa can stretch on for an hour or more, especially on weekends or holidays, and is considered an important part of family and social life. It is where conversation, coffee, and sometimes a digestivo happen.
Example sentences
- “Nos quedamos de sobremesa hasta las cinco.” (We stayed chatting at the table until five.)
- “La sobremesa es mi parte favorita de la comida.”
- “Después de comer, siempre hay sobremesa.”
Related words and nuances
You might also encounter tertulia (a more organized social gathering), and it pairs naturally with verbs like charlar and disfrutar. Would you like me to give you more examples, a few synonyms, or a short dialogue using the word in context?

Your words are not lost. Let's get them out.
The extraction prompt
Paste this into your chat. Copy the CSV it gives back.
Go through this entire conversation and extract every vocabulary word or phrase that I asked about or that you explained to me. Rules: 1. Only include words that actually appear in this conversation. Do not add new or related words. 2. One row per word. 3. Output a CSV code block with exactly this header: word,language,meaning,example 4. Keep each meaning under 12 words. If an example sentence was already used in this chat, reuse it. If not, leave the example field empty. 5. If you are not sure a word was really discussed, leave it out. If the list gets long, stop before you hit your output limit and write CONTINUE as the last line. I will ask you to continue.
The header matches Koboshi's import format, so the CSV drops straight in.
If the chat is long
Fallbacks, in order.
- Continue. “Continue the CSV from where you stopped. Do not repeat rows. Same columns.”
- Halves. Run the prompt on the first half, then: “Now the second half. Here is the CSV so far. Add only new words. Do not change existing rows.”
- Verify. “Check this CSV against our conversation. Remove any row that does not actually appear. Output the cleaned CSV.” Models can invent words in very long chats. This pass catches it.
- Strongest model. If you can pick a model, pick the most capable one. Long chats overflow smaller models first.
- Export route. ChatGPT Settings, Data controls, Export data. You get a download link by email. Open the conversation file, paste it in parts into a fresh chat, run the same prompt. A fresh chat means a fresh context window.
Then import
Upload the CSV. The part the chat never did begins.
Upload the CSV to Koboshi. Your meanings stay yours. Optional AI enrichment adds examples, audio, and the same word across your other languages, processed in the background at your plan's daily pace. Then the reviews start bringing words back before you forget them. The part the chat never did.
Questions
Before you run it.
Will the AI invent words that were never in my chat?
It can, in very long chats. The prompt's “only words that actually appear” rule plus the verify pass keeps you safe.
My chat is months long. Will this work?
Yes. Use halves or the export route.
Does this work with Gemini or Claude chats too?
Yes. Same prompt, any AI chat. Only the export menu differs.
