You — a Guaraní word woven into everyday Paraguayan Spanish.
Paraguay speaks jopara, a natural blend of Spanish and Guaraní, and nde is one of the most common crossovers. It appears mid-Spanish-sentence without anyone thinking twice.
Guaraní for "you" / "your."
Paraguay is the only country in the Americas where an indigenous language is spoken by a majority of the population. Learning Paraguayan Spanish without any Guaraní misses most of it.
