/Sounds like "kwehm" (as in "quest") + "BEH" (as in "bed")/
A Guarani-origin expression used in Paraguay to urge someone to move, start, or get going right now. "Cuembe" is pure kinetic energy compressed into one word: affectionate but insistent. When someone says cuembe, they mean immediately.
“Come on, it's getting late!”
“Come on, we cannot be late again.”

Capaz
Maybe, perhaps, possibly. In Argentina and Uruguay, capaz is the casual way to express uncertainty without committing to anything. It leaves the door open because, honestly, who really knows how the afternoon is going to turn out.
