Paraguayan slang often incorporates Guaraní, the country’s other official language. Common expressions include: “Che” (hey, mate), “Luego” (then, often used as “okay”), “Jaha” (let’s go), “Macanada” (nonsense), “Mbore” (cool, nice). “¿Mba’eteko?” is a greeting meaning “How are you?”. “Jopará” refers to the mix of Spanish and Guaraní often used. As always, use slang carefully and be aware of the context and the speaker’s tone.
