sapatina
/phonetic/1.
A label for something extraordinarily good, often food, but broadly "divine-level quality."
(sah-pah-TEE-nah) - noun/adjective, hype-praise slang. So good it's heaven-tier. Used for anything exceptionally delightfuloften food (“scrumptious”), but also a plan, outfit, playlist, or vibe. Shot to fame after a viral clip of a madzibaba live-commentating while devouring takeaway chicken at State House. Etymology’s fuzzy; many joke it riffs on “supper time, dinner time” mashed together. The hype ballooned when Chivhayo gifted the man a Toyota Fortuner + $10k fuel + $10k for more ‘sapatina'
"Sapatina sapatina, kudya kwe ngirozi"
Translation: "sapatina, sapatina, food for the angels."
