/Sounds like "PAHR" (as in "park") + "nah" (as in "nacho")/
Chicano slang for your closest partner, the one who has your back no matter what. Borrowed from the English "partner" and adapted into Chicano Spanish, "mi parna" is the ride-or-die friend who shows up when things get rough and never leaves you hanging. Less common than "carnal" but just as emotionally loaded, heard in Chicano caló and barrio conversations among very close friends.
“Ese es mi parna desde la secundaria, lo quiero un chorro.”
“That's my ride-or-die since middle school, I love that guy.”
“Llámale al parna, él nos puede ayudar con esto.”
“Hit up my partner, he can help us with this.”

Bro
An English loanword fully absorbed into everyday Spanish across Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, and most of Latin America. "Bro" means close friend, and it carries the same laid-back warmth it does in English, fitting perfectly in texts, chats, and casual conversation.
