/Sounds like "RYE" (as in "rye") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
A ride or lift in someone's car, usually as a favor between friends or neighbors. Borrowed straight from the English word "ride" and fully naturalized in Mexican Spanish. Asking for a raite is one of the most common everyday favors.
“¿Me das un raite a la escuela?”
“Can you give me a ride to school?”
“Le pedí raite al vecino porque no había camión.”
“I asked the neighbor for a ride because there was no bus.”
