Speaker 1: to prove Latino the spaniel. And today we're talking about
Speaker 1: a common Spanish confusion, Ola bearsus ola. What aren't they
Speaker 1: the same? Nope, but I get what You're scratching your
Speaker 1: head right now. Don't worry. I'll clear it up in
Speaker 1: a minute. So are you ready for a quiki? Yes.
Speaker 1: I've had many students who are surfers, surfistas en espanel surfistas,
Speaker 1: and every time they ask me how do you say
Speaker 1: wave in Spanish? I tell them olah and then confusion
Speaker 1: because it's in ola, the word for hello. Well, yes,
Speaker 1: both words sound is soactly the same. There is zero
Speaker 1: difference in pronunciation, but they're spelled differently and they mean
Speaker 1: completely different things. Let's start with Allah spelled at or la.
Speaker 1: It means hello, and it's usually followed by a friendly
Speaker 1: question like allah gital ollah cova, go ahead, repeat after me,
Speaker 1: allah gital ollah. Nice. Now let's talk about allah spelled
Speaker 1: or la ah. It means wave, as in la solas
Speaker 1: del mark the waves of the sea, and people usually
Speaker 1: talk about all us in plural. I don't hear often
Speaker 1: just a single wave. So how do we know which
Speaker 1: one people mean? Context? Mi amigo. If I start a
Speaker 1: conversation with Ola, I'm not talking about waves. And if
Speaker 1: I'm pointing at the sea and say media is Aola,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying hi to the sea. So context is
Speaker 1: very important. So let's recap Olah spelled at la is
Speaker 1: hello and Olah spelled oh la is wave. The sound identical,
Speaker 1: but they mean totally different things. And to know which
Speaker 1: people mean rely on the context, and that means some egos.
