judía
/xuˈdia/ · B1 · noun · f
green bean
🫛 Sounds like who-DEE-ah: Who'd eat a green bean? Judía would!
The j sounds like a throaty h, so it's hoo-DEE-ah, stressed on the i. Same spelling as judía, a Jewish woman, but the two are separate words. In Spain, judías verdes are green beans; in Latin America it's ejotes or porotos.
