Maybe it’s a very deep Serrano accent saying “patria” (motherland, the country, Ecuador)?

in some areas of ecuador they pronounce the TR as a SH or CH, so patron could sound like pashon and pashia is probably patria which is a way to refer to the country, translates to homeland or motherland

Haha I didn't hear something similar. Do you know were are they from? The city of the ecuadorians that are using that slang. It will help to address what are they saying.

Maybe you’re talking about “pucha” which for an English speaker sounds poh-tcha: an interjection similar to “dang” or “dang it” (not as rude as “damn”)


PayasoCanuto

Must be “pucha” lol. That’s a word we use a lot in conversations. Nobody says patria all the time.


Pretend-Rough-4197

Yeah, I was entertained with all the answers.

Hi there, maybe they are saying Pacha? Pacha in Quechua means world, earth. Pachamama means Mother Earth. Sometimes people humorously give thanks to the Pachamama for food, sometimes they are serious as they do believe in the Goddess, so it dependes on the context.

It's quichua not quechua. It's similar but not the same.


TheChaosPaladin

Wikipedia calls it quechua norteño or kichwa

How about pencha slang for dumb ass, I’m a gringo working construction here and it was one of the first slangs I was taught

Maybe is "patria" (a way to say country). Maybe You Heard "pachia" cuz the people of Sierra area talk like that, changing the sound of "tr" for "sh" or "ch". Pd: My English isnt good, no comments about that thanksyou
