/Sounds like "DEH" (as in "debt") + "reh" (as in "red") + "PEHN" (as in "pet") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
In Peru, "de repente" means "maybe" or "perhaps," not "suddenly" like in the rest of the Spanish-speaking world. It is a classic false friend that trips up every foreigner in Lima when a Peruvian casually says "de repente voy" and means they might show up, not that they are about to appear.
“Maybe I will come by your place tomorrow, I am not sure yet.”
“Maybe it will rain this afternoon, bring an umbrella just in case.”

Turkey in Mexico, from the Nahuatl word "huexolotl", the bird the Aztecs domesticated thousands of years before the world knew about it. Today it's eaten at Christmas, in mole, and is essential to Mexican cuisine.
