Yes, I used a bombilla in Uruguay to drink my mate. (Mmmmmmmmm) I even bought one and brought it back to DC with me. But the other day, I asked a Bolivian friend what these things in our drinks were called in Spanish, she answered "bombilla". (Although she didn't say her "ll" sound like my Uruguayan friends do........ jaja!) So that made me curious.
I am sorry for getting carried away with having fun, and I half answered your questions...

Ok

Yes paja can be either straw and a straw.

Straw = paja, bombilla

Bombilla = straw, light bulb

Light bulb = ampolleta, bombilla


yet?

Homework?
