Add a word/Sounds like "CHAH" (as in "chat") + "mah" (as in "mark")/
Meaning
A girl or young woman in Venezuela, the most natural and everyday way to refer to any young female. It is used constantly on the street, at home, and among friends with a close, casual, and familiar tone. Think of it as the Venezuelan equivalent of "girl" but with a warmth and closeness that makes it feel like a term of endearment. The masculine form is "chamo," and together "chamo/chama" are quintessentially Venezuelan words.
Examples
“That girl is really cool, I liked her.”
“The girls from class organized a surprise party.”
