Tuja
In Paraguay, a Guaraní word meaning old or ancient, used to describe people, objects, or things from another era. The tone shifts depending on context: "ese tuja" can be an affectionate nickname for a grandfather or a lighthearted jab at a beat-up old car. Much like "viejo" in Mexican Spanish, the warmth or mockery lives in how you say it.
