/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "SEHR" (as in "set") + "seh" (as in "set") + "EHL" (as in "egg") + "BOH" (as in "boat") + "boh" (as in "boat")/
To play dumb, to act like you have no idea what's going on when you clearly do. A classic move to dodge responsibility or sidestep an uncomfortable conversation. Used across Colombia, Venezuela, and the Dominican Republic.
“Don't play dumb with me, you know exactly what I'm talking about.”
“He suddenly had no idea what was going on the moment they brought up the money.”

Mba'e
The Guaraní word for "what," "thing," or "matter," used in Paraguay as part of Jopara: the everyday natural blend of Guaraní and Spanish that most Paraguayans speak. You will hear "mba'e" woven into sentences that are otherwise entirely in Spanish, a reminder that Guaraní is a co-official language very much alive in daily life.
