/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.”

Mojado
A historically pejorative term in Chicano vocabulary referring to an undocumented person who swam across the Rio Grande to enter the United States. It literally means "wet" because they came out of the water. The word carried stigma for decades, but in Chicano communities it has been reclaimed with pride: "soy mojado y qué" is a common line in corridos and Chicano rap. Use with care: context changes everything.
