mucheka
/phonetic/1.
A sharp, powerful slap delivered to the face, often sudden and meant to shock or discipline.
Close synonym: rata (also a strong slap); other variants: zenya, demo, lighter, gwati. Usage tip: In ghetto banter, someone might threaten “ndinokudira mucheka” to warn they’ll shut the other person up with one blow.
"Chaunga chakasheedzera haikona kumurova, ndakazongoona apihwa mucheka"
Translation: "The crowd was shouting not to hit him but shortly after I saw someone slapping the shit out of him"
