llanto
/ˈʝanto/ · B2 · noun · m
crying
😢 llanto sounds like YAHN-toh: a yawn-toe wail, a sob that makes you want to yank a tissue
Say YAHN-toh (the ll sounds like y). Link it to a 'yawn' that turns into a sob: eyes water, and the noise that comes out is llanto, crying. Related verb: llorar, to cry; both share the ll- start.
