What 🧉 means

A gourd of yerba mate with a metal straw, the bombilla. It means mate, the herbal drink central to daily life in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and southern Brazil.

Morning routines, study sessions and friendly gatherings use it, often with 🇦🇷 or 🇺🇾. Sharing mate in a circle is a social ritual, so it also means 'come over'.

People outside South America sometimes read it as a coconut drink.
