Did you know?
- The word Hola might actually be an old way of calling out to someone to stop, much like the French holà used to halt a horse.
- In some Latin American countries, it is common to pair Hola with a physical gesture like a light hug or a cheek kiss, even if you are not close friends.
- While Hola is a universal greeting, you might hear people in Spain use Buenas as a shorthand way to say 'good day' or 'good afternoon' at any time.
