Mbareté
A Guaraní word meaning strength, power, endurance, grit. In Paraguay it's a fundamental cultural concept: being "mbareté" means having the inner fortitude to face adversity, endure hard work, and never give up. It's used literally ("I need mbareté for this job") and figuratively ("mbareté guasu" for someone very strong). It's part of the Paraguayan identity vocabulary.
