A beer.
The standard casual word for beer across Peru, Mexico, and much of the Andes. "Vamos por unas chelas" is the universal invitation.
Spain and Argentina say birra, Chile says schop for draft, Colombia says pola.
Reading a definition isn't the same as saying it to someone. Lingo Kaiava is a voice tutor set to Peruvian Spanish — it uses chela the way locals do, corrects you in the moment, and never "fixes" the way real people actually talk into textbook Peruvian Spanish.
