Joya
/Sounds like "HOH" (as in "hope") + "yah" (as in "yard")/
A gem of a person: reliable, kind-hearted, and genuinely wonderful. In Mexico and Central America, calling someone a joya is one of the highest compliments you can give. The comparison to a jewel is not accidental, it implies real value, not just surface charm.
“That man is an absolute gem, he's always there when you need him.”
“You found a gem of an employee with that hire, take good care of him.”
Joya
/Sounds like "HOH" (as in "hope") + "yah" (as in "yard")/
An Argentine expression meaning everything's perfect, excellent, that you accept something enthusiastically, or there's no problem at all. When something's joya, it's exactly right and you're completely satisfied.
“Meet at 5?, Joya.”
“They told me I passed and I was stoked.”

Tuntún
Randomly, without thinking it through, just going with whatever comes first. Doing something "al tuntún" means acting with no plan and trusting blind luck to sort it out. A risky approach, and people usually tell you not to do it this way.
