"chifa" meaning in Spanish

See chifa in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈt͡ʃifa/, [ˈt͡ʃi.fa] Forms: chifas [plural]
Rhymes: -ifa Etymology: Unknown. Perhaps from Cantonese 煮飯/煮饭 (zyu² faan⁶). The Comisión Lexicografía de la Academia Peruana (CLAP) proposed that it is from Cantonese 食飯喇 (sik⁶ faan⁶ laa³). Compare Spanish chaufa, from Cantonese 炒飯/炒饭 (caau² faan⁶). Sometimes said to be from Mandarin 吃飯/吃饭 (chīfàn), but this is improbable as the Chinese Peruvians are from southern China.
