Tova
/Sounds like "TOH" (as in "toll") + "bah" (as in "bar")/
In Paraguay, the face or physical appearance, and by extension the audacity or nerve of someone. From the Guarani word "tova" (face). Having "tova" means being shameless enough to do things without embarrassment.
“What nerve, he asked to borrow money from me again.”
“He had the audacity to show up super late and not even apologize.”

In Mexico, extremely hungry, starving, ravenous. It describes that level of hunger where you cannot focus on anything else and need to eat immediately, whatever is available. Stronger than just saying "I'm hungry," closer to "I'm absolutely famished."
