/Sounds like "NEE" (as in "knee") + "koh" (as in "coat")/

Meaning

In Paraguay, a Guaraní particle used as an emphatic filler in Paraguayan Spanish to reinforce a statement. It works like "obviously" or "I'm telling you" to add extra weight to what you're saying.

That niko is exactly what I always say, nobody ever listens to me.
