/Sounds like "gah" (as in "garden") + "YEH" (as in "yes") + "tah" (as in "tar")/

“He got slapped for what he said in class.”
“If you misbehave you're getting a smack, the grandmother warned him clearly.”

Api
A hot, sweet drink made from purple corn, cinnamon, and cloves, a beloved staple of Bolivian market culture. Api is especially popular on cold mornings and is almost always paired with buñuelos (fried dough fritters). It tastes nothing like corn: it is warming, fragrant, and deeply comforting.
