What locals actually say

Are you coming over?

Rejúta piko ko'ápe?

The future-intent ending -ta and conversational question particle piko make this a natural casual invitation in Paraguay.

Hold on, I’m coming.

Eha'arõmi, aháma hína.

The diminutive -mi softens the request, while aháma hína combines “already/now” with the progressive particle hína for the familiar “I’m on my way” sense.

Let’s have some tereré.

Jaháke ja'u tereré.

The exhortative ending -ke turns jaha into an easygoing “let’s go,” and tereré names Paraguay’s everyday cold yerba-mate drink.

I don't have any cash on me.

Ndarekói pláta ko'ág̃a.

Pláta is a common Spanish loan for money in Paraguayan jopara, signaling casual speech.

Go straight and turn left at the corner.

Eho tenonde gotyo ha ejere asúpe esquinápe.

Esquina is a Spanish loan with the Guarani locative ending -pe, a typical jopara construction.

This barbecue is really delicious.

Ko asádo iporãiterei.

Asádo is the local Spanish food loan, while -iterei intensifies iporã and gives the phrase an emphatic everyday tone.

My older brother is at home.

Che ryke'y oĩ ógape.

Ryke'y specifically means an older brother, a Guarani kinship distinction used naturally in Paraguay.

Tomorrow I have to go to work early.

Ko'ẽrõ pyharevete aha va'erã che trabajo-pe.

Va'erã marks obligation, and trabajo-pe combines a Spanish jopara loan with the Guarani locative suffix -pe.
