Yapa
1. A little something extra or a bonus given for free by a vendor when you make a purchase (this is a traditional custom in local markets). 2. An additional or unexpected event, often used to describe a stroke of bad luck that happens on top of another.
1. I bought 8 notebooks, 2 books, 3 folders, and they gave me a pencil as a yapa. 2. I got my shoes stolen on the corner and as a yapa my dad grounded me!

Yapa
A small bonus or extra amount given for free to a customer at street markets or local shops. It refers to receiving a little more than the exact weight or measure paid for, often at the buyer's request. (The term comes from the Mapuche language and is known as napa in other parts of Latin America.)
Give me a kilo of bread, with yapa please.
