/Sounds like "koo" (as in "cool") + "nyah" (as in "Nyan") + "tah" (as in "tar") + "EE" (as in "eagle")/

Meaning

Guaraní word used naturally in Paraguayan Spanish for a young woman or girl. From "kuña" (woman) plus a diminutive suffix. Saying kuñataí instead of "chica" immediately signals you are genuinely Paraguayan, and it appears in conversation, songs, and everyday speech without any formality.

Examples

Esa kuñataí que vino a la fiesta anoche es la prima de Pedro.

That young woman who came to the party last night is Pedro's cousin.

The girls from my neighborhood are all medical students.
