/Sounds like "TOO-hah"/
A Guaraní word meaning old, elderly, or ancient. In Paraguay it's frequently used to describe anything old: a person, a car, a building, a piece of gossip. "Este tuja" can be the affectionate grandpa or the beat-up car. The tone defines whether it's affectionate, descriptive, or mocking. Like "viejo" in Mexico, the word shifts meaning depending on how and to whom you say it.
"Ese tuja del barrio siempre cuenta las mismas historias. → That old man from the neighborhood always tells the same stories."
"Mi auto es un tuja. → My car is an old beater."
