/Sounds like "SAHN" (as in "salsa") + "goo" (as in "good") + "cheh" (as in "check")/
A sandwich, the local and endearing way they say it in Peru and Argentina. Every Spanish-speaking country adapted this borrowed English word to their own accent and rhythm, and this warm, casual version stuck firmly in everyday speech.
“A chicken sandwich to go, please.”
“The sandwiches at the market are amazing; better than anywhere else.”

Hala
A Spanish exclamation of encouragement, surprise, or to signal that something is starting or wrapping up. The tone does all the work: a sharp "hala" can mean "come on, hurry up," an impressed "¡hala!" means "wow," and a drawn-out one can close a conversation entirely.
