/Sounds like "pah" (as in "park") + "TEE" (as in "tea") + "yah" (as in "yard")/
Watermelon, the large sweet fruit with red flesh. In Venezuela and Colombia, it's never called sandía, it's always patilla, and asking for a sandía there might get you a puzzled look.
“Buy a cold watermelon for the heat.”
“We ate a whole watermelon at the park.”

Watermelon. In Venezuela and Colombia, patilla is the everyday word for this juicy, water-rich fruit. A staple in warm climates, eaten fresh, as juice, or as a chilled afternoon snack, and sold by the slice in markets from early morning.
“Compra una patilla bien fría para la tarde.”
“Grab a nice cold watermelon for the afternoon.”
“En esa plaza venden patilla en trozos desde temprano.”
“In that plaza they sell watermelon by the slice starting early in the morning.”

A Venezuelan filler word of trust that between friends is completely affectionate with zero negative connotation. It's used to get attention, express surprise, or just fill the conversation between panas.
