Bandera de Paraguay
Bandera de Argentina

/cha-MI-go/

A close, trusted friend and companion in Paraguay and northern Argentina. A chamigo is more than an acquaintance — they're someone of symbolic brotherhood. The chamigo bond is sacred and unspoken.

Example

"That's my lifelong chamigo, we've known each other since childhood."

"A chamigo helps you without you having to ask twice."

Creer algo falso sin cuestionarlo ni dudar, dejarse engañar por una mentira completamente. Es cuando te cuentan un cuento chino y te lo compras entero sin masticar, como tragarte una historia ridícula y no darte cuenta.
