Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "yoh" (as in "yoke") + "PAH" (as in "park") + "rah" (as in "rapper")/

Meaning

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.

Examples

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

An ice-cold beer, the most natural way to order a brew in Colombia and Venezuela. When the heat is crushing and you need to cool down immediately, ordering a 'cold one' is practically a sacred ritual.
