- kaladin-jasnah 4y agoI'm pretty sure "nuevo/a" is "new" in Spanish, not "nova."

- MagnumOpus 4y agoNova means new in Portuguese and in Latin...
- 1letterunixname 4y agoThat's the joke.
- comte7092 4y agoIf you are reading it, yes. If you say it out loud, it sounds like “no va”.
- vikingerik 4y agoThis is correct. It wouldn't be read as "no go" any more than you wouldn't buy a "notable" furniture set because it had no table.
- esperent 4y agoNova means new in Portuguese. It's not a word in Spanish I think, which is why Spanish speakers would automatically split it into "no va".
