atmósfera
/adˈmosfeɾa/ · B1 · noun · f
atmosphere
🌍☁️ Greek atmos (vapour) + sphaira (ball) = the vapour ball around Earth
Same roots as English atmosphere, but Spanish stresses the second syllable: at-MÓS-fe-ra. Hear the -sfera ending as esfera, Spanish for sphere. It also means mood, as in buena atmósfera, a good vibe.
