A stupid, cowardly, or naive person who acts without thinking. In Mexico, it's a serious insult; in Argentina it's used so casually between friends it barely registers as offensive — context is everything.
A little extra, a freebie thrown in by the seller as a gesture of goodwill. The ñapa is a beloved tradition in Colombian and Venezuelan markets — a small bonus that makes you feel valued as a customer.
To overcome emotional traumas or wounds through inner work. The wellness culture has turned this word into a movement.
