Add a word/Sounds like "eh" (as in "egg") + "fehc" (as in "fence") + "TEE" (as in "tea") + "boh" (as in "boat")/
Meaning
Cash: physical bills and coins as opposed to paying by card or bank transfer. In Mexico and across Latin America, many small businesses, street stalls, and market vendors only accept cash, so carrying some is always a smart move. Tourists who rely entirely on cards end up missing the best food.
Examples
“Do you take card or only cash?”
“I do not have any cash on me, do you have a card reader?”
