CaChai?

Let's work with words!!


There are many words in Spanish that come from another language: almohada comes from Arabic, cahuin comes from Mapudungun, and "cachai" from the English verb "to catch".
Can you give 3 Chilean words that come from English?

One credit is waiting at the end of the road!!
