EN: became tight, was in a tight spot (financially)
That dreaded "petsa de peligro" feeling before payday when your wallet is crying. It's when you're forced to choose between load and lunch. It's the state of being financially "in a pickle." The antonym of "guminhawa".
This is the completed aspect (past tense) of the verb. It almost always refers to financial hardship.
