fuerte
/ˈfweɾte/ · A1 · adv
loud
🏰💪 fuerte = fort: same Latin root (fortis) as fortress, fortify, forte
From Latin fortis, strong. English kept it in fort, fortify, effort and the musical forte (play loud). So fuerte covers strong, hard and loud in one word: llueve fuerte = it rains hard; habla fuerte = speak loudly.
