Bandera de Paraguay

/yo-pah-RAH/

The hybrid language most Paraguayans actually speak — a natural mixture of Spanish and Guaraní woven together in the same sentence. Yopara is the true tongue of Paraguay, not 'pure' either language.

Example

"He speaks yopara — half Spanish, half Guaraní without thinking about it."

"In Paraguay everyone speaks yopara, even if they don't realize it."

Regional synonyms:

Persona agresiva, ruda o difícil de tratar que intimida a los demás con su actitud. En México 'ser bronco' significa tener mal genio y poco tacto social.
