Asta la vista baby
- mplanchard 4mo agoHasta* (it’s spanish)

- latentsea 4mo agoIt doesn't sound like it has an H at the beginning. Shame it hasta be like that.
- ethbr1 4mo agoThe H is silent in Austrian-Spanish.
- mr_toad 4mo agoA number of English and French speakers will drop their H’s.
- cratermoon 4mo agoConversely, I’ve heard British people pronounce “HMS” with the H, i.e. “haytch em ess”. Sounds very odd to my American ears.
- antonvs 4mo agoNot all British people accept that pronunciation. I highly recommend this sketch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gKeQHfgZns https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gKeQHfgZns
- United857 4mo agoThey speak Spanish in Austria?
- purerandomness 4mo agoThey have to; the Kangaroos only understand Spanish sadly.

- dredmorbius 4mo agoSpanish: - "ha" sound -> J - silent -> H, sometimes LL - "yu" sound -> LL - "v" sound -> B La Jolla -> "Lah Hoya" (English phonetic). Vallejo -> "Baiyeho" (phonetic), though the north-bay California town is often pronounced "Valayho" by locals. "Vallay-joe" is a sure sign of a non-native. I have it on good authority that mail addressed to "La Hoya, CA" will in fact reach its intended destination.
- latentsea 4mo agoYou missed the joke.
- dredmorbius 4mo agoHokay.
