Friends: "We are so happy and learning much English but please help us, there is one word we do not understand."
Me: "Sure! What word?"
Friends: "Makeita."
Me: "What??"
Friends: "Makeita."
Me: "Um, can you say that again? I don't recognize it."
Friends (trying again):"Makeita."
Me: "Um, still doesn't sound familiar. Can you tell me the context? How are people using it?"
Friends: "They come to the drive through and they say 'Makeita #5' or "Makeita #1 with large fries."
Me: "Ohhh! They are saying 'Make it a'...!"
