hala

/ˈala/ · B2 · intj

come on! let’s go!

🏃‍♂️ sounds like HAH-la: a shout of surprise or a push to hurry up

Spanish hala is silent h, so it sounds like ALA. Think of it as a quick exclamation, like English wow or come on. The same short sound works for both amazement and urging someone to get moving.
