vodka
/ˈbodka/ · B1 · noun · mf
vodka
🍸 Same word, but Spanish v sounds like b: say BOD-ka
From Russian водка, a diminutive of вода (water), so it literally means little water. In Spanish the v is said like a b, so vodka comes out as BOD-ka. It can take el or la, but el vodka is the more common choice.
