/Sounds like "MAHN" (as in "mark") + "keh" (as in "kept")/
A Panamanian conjunction meaning "even though" or "even if." It comes from the old Spanish contraction of "mas que" and survives in Panama as a natural part of casual everyday speech across generations.
“I am going even if it rains, I have to make it to that meeting.”
“I will help you even if it takes me the whole day.”
