What locals actually say

How are you?

¿Mba'éichapa?

Mba'éichapa es un saludo en guaraní que se usa de manera cotidiana junto al español.

I’m going to be a little late, okay?

Voy a llegar un poco tarde, na.

El voseo aparece en otras formas verbales del habla paraguaya, mientras na suaviza la frase y busca acuerdo.

That was really good.

Estuvo bueno luego.

Luego al final no significa “después” aquí: funciona como partícula enfática, muy usada para reforzar una opinión.

Can you lend me ten thousand guaraníes?

¿Me prestás diez mil guaraníes, na?

“Prestás” uses Paraguayan voseo, while “na” softens the request in casual speech.

Is the bus stop far from here?

¿La parada queda lejos de acá, luego?

“Luego” works as a characteristic Paraguayan softener, making the question sound less abrupt.

Your little girl has grown so much.

Tu nena ya está grandota, angá.

“Angá” signals affection or tenderness, especially when talking about a child.

Do you have a minute?

¿Tenés un minuto?

“Tenés” is the Paraguayan voseo form, used naturally in everyday conversation.

It’s getting cold, isn’t it?

Está refrescando, ¿na?

“Na” is a casual Paraguayan tag that softens the observation and invites agreement.
