Thanks for your understanding.

No help but the last time I heard the word Charra was night on 35 years ago when living with a wit ou whenwe, so a nostalgic kick for me if nothing else.

Chara is the Irish word for friend so I hear it all the time.

charra

sf

1 (Salamanca) (=campesina) peasant woman

(=mujer de clase baja) low-class woman, coarse woman

2 (CAm) (=sombrero) broad-brimmed hat

3 (Andes) (=grano) itch, pimple

4 (CAm)

*** (=pene) prick *** , tool ***

→ charro

Close but no prize. S.A. would be Suid Afrika.

"Charra" Irish for friend.

I had a guy from the UK call me his old marrer or marra?

irish Gaelic for friend is cara or more correctly comradai for a very close friend (more like a pair/duplicate/twin)

Charra is a South African slang word (hence reference to SA by op), referring to someone on Indian extraction, or sometimes cape coloureds depending on origins of ethnicity.

It was used primarily by Indians in SA an not derogatory at all, more familiar. I believe the word itself was derived from char/tea or curry.

Actually the word for close friend in Irish is dlúthchara.

Comradai is used like the English use the word mate.
