/Sounds like "CHAH" (as in "chat") + "keh" (as in "kept")/
Watch out! or Careful!, a Guaraní-origin warning used in Paraguay to alert someone of incoming danger. 'Chake' is fast, urgent, and unmistakable, it snaps people to attention before explaining why. The word itself sounds like a warning.
“Watch out, there's a car coming!”
“Be careful with that guy, he's not trustworthy.”

Merenguero
