Gañá! (#AtoZChallenge 2015)

gañá! [gah-NJAH]  
Literally: "You jest." (From the verb gaña [GAH-njah], which means deceive, joke, lie.) It's what you say when your jaw drops in disbelief.


"Is the water in Curaçao really that clear? Gañá!
I don't believe it!"
You: "Gañá!"
(English: NO! *jaw drops*)

You come across an obituary in the paper for an acquaintance you saw two days ago in perfect health. You'd say, "Gañá!"
(English: That can't be!)

The electrician you hired to replace a malfunctioning light switch tells you there's a problem with the entire electric installation in the house and it needs to be redone--which will take days, and cost you thousands of guilders.
You: "Ai no, gañá!"
(English: No, you're kidding. Please tell me you're kidding.)


What, that's it for this post? Ai no, gañá! I was enjoying it!
Well, okay then. A bonus word for today:

galiña
(Hint: it's probably something you eat with amazing regularity--unless you're vegan ;) )
Any ideas? Leave a comment, and come back tomorrow to see if you were right. If you were the first to comment with the right answer (or a near guess, if no one else got it right), you'll be entered to win one of three copies of The Miracle of Small Things, a collection of short stories about Curaçao coming out later this year. The winners will be announced the first week of May.
