The Guaraní word of the day is vai vai, meaning “not well” or “poorly”.
- ¿Reñe’é Guaraníme? (”Do you speak Guaraní?”)
- Vai vai. (”After two years, I can understand basic phrases and pick the key grammar structures out of some sentences, but I can’t speak it worth anything. Although I am sure that your dirty old man of a grandfather just said something really nasty to me by the way he’s looking at me and snickering behind his hand.”)

If you use the word vai just the once, it’s an adjective meaning “plain” or “ugly”.
