Paraguayan Spanish, heavily influenced by Guarani, includes distinctive nicknames. “Che” is commonly used to get someone’s attention. “Mbore” (from Guarani) means “fool” but can be used affectionately. “Pyragüé” historically meant “informant” but now can mean “gossip.” “Mitaí” (from Guarani) is used for young boys. “Kuñataí” (from Guarani) refers to young girls.
