Em espanhol pode ser também como uma comida deliciosa, fantástica. (Aprendi essa semana com umas colegas peruanas). E a pronúncia, tem um leve som de x.

What about the pronunciation? Depending on the region either in Brazil and in Portugal is the same (homophones)? Could it cause some embarrassment?
