I feel like almost anything would work if you say it the right way:
- Well okay then!
- As you wish
- This should be good

- Right on

Naguará, from my Country Venezuela.
Does it have a close English translation? I like learning about other languages.
It doesn’t, sorry. It is a way to express Astonishment, like saying “Holy Fuck!” or something like that. It’s also used to intensify something you say, “Naguará 'e grande es ese árbol = How fucking big is that tree”.
(Although I’m using “fuck” in the examples, Naguará isn’t a “rude word” or an insult, colloquial at most, you wouldn’t say naguará in a business meeting or a thesis defense, for example. Is just that i can’t think of other English word with the same weight as Naguará)

I have a friend that says, “Well shit on my face.” whenever something amazingly unbelievable is true. The way they say it so stoically, naturally, like it’s normal, it’s usually responded to like, “I know right- what?!”
Butthole!
I use it to politely punctuate statements when respectfully conversing with people I may slightly disagree with.
