Bandera de Paraguay

/Sounds like "heh-VEH"/

A Guaraní word meaning tasty, delicious, flavorful in Paraguay. It's used almost exclusively for food and slips naturally into Spanish conversations: "qué hevé este asado" (how delicious is this barbecue), "está hevé tu tortilla." It's one of the Guaraní words most commonly heard in Paraguayan mouths of all ages, because food is central to the culture and no culinary compliment is more Paraguayan than this one. It directly replaces "rico" or "sabroso" without losing a thing.

Example

"Qué hevé está esta sopa paraguaya. → How delicious is this Paraguayan soup."

"La chipa de mi abuela está bien hevé. → My grandma's chipa is so tasty."
