hall

/ˈxol/ · B1 · noun · m

hallway

hall — hallway

🏨🛋️ Borrowed from English hall, but said the Spanish way: jol

Spanish took this word straight from English, spelling and all. The h is said like a Spanish j, a rasp in the throat, and the vowel is a short o, so it rhymes with sol. You'll mostly hear it for a hotel lobby or the entrance hall of a flat.
