/Sounds like "ah-WEE-chah"/
An Aymara and Quechua word for grandmother or an elderly woman, used with affection and respect. In Bolivia it's used both for the blood grandmother and for any older woman in the neighborhood or community held in esteem. "Mi awicha" carries an emotional weight that "mi abuela" doesn't quite match: it implies tradition, oral stories, village wisdom, and indigenous roots.
"Mi awicha me enseñó a hacer api. → My awicha taught me how to make api."
"La awicha del mercado siempre me da una yapa. → The grandma at the market always gives me a little extra."
