@Anushka_Benari@neopaquita.es @ParadeGrotesque@mastodon.sdf.org @mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io Fascinating! When I was a kid living on the US side of the border, I heard it a lot. As I was fresh of a year of phonics, all I can remember is it sounding like y-hola or I-hola. I’m finally learning Spanish and was embarrassed to learn that mira was not mida. 3rd generation and the language was lost in our family.
