Tape
/Sounds like "TAH" (as in "tar") + "peh" (as in "pet")/
In Paraguay, a road, path, or route, from Guarani. Used daily to refer to a road or track, especially the dirt paths in the interior of the country.
“The tape is rough after the rain, better wait for it to dry.”
“Take the tape on the left, it's shorter to get to the town.”
