hurra

/ˈura/ · B2 · noun · f

cheer

🎉 Silent h: sounds like OO-rah, the soldiers' cheer, which means the same

Spanish took hurra from the English hurrah and the German hurra, both shouts of joy. The h is silent and the r is tapped, so it sounds like OO-rah. It is a feminine noun: un hurra means a cheer, and ¡hurra! is what you shout.
