/Sounds like "koo" (as in "cool") + "nyah" (as in "Nyan") + "tah" (as in "tar") + "EE" (as in "eagle")/
In Paraguay, a young woman or girl. Borrowed from Guarani, where "cuna" means woman and "tai" is a diminutive suffix. In Paraguay, Spanish and Guarani mix daily in what locals call jopara, and cunatai is one of those Guarani words that slips naturally into everyday conversation as an affectionate, respectful way to refer to a young woman.
“The young woman at the corner store always greets everyone with a smile.”
“Have you met the new girl who moved into the neighborhood?”
