búfalo
/ˈbufalo/ · B2 · noun · m
old world buffalo
🦬 búfalo = sounds like BOO-fah-lo: boo! a huge horned beast stomps off
Say BOO-fah-lo aloud: the boo is a shout that scares off a heavy, horned grazer. Spanish uses búfalo for both the Old World buffalo and the American bison. Stress falls on the first syllable, as the accent mark shows.
