Welcome to the forum as xicotillo has shown often words that begin with 'v' are written as if they start with a 'b' because in Spanish the 'b' and 'v' sounds are usually the same.

This is also true with the 'y' and the 'll'

So the word should be spelt vayas but it sounds just the same as if were written as ballas

It is also a dirty word in Afrikaans. :) - Ada-S, Dec 21, 2011

Hey, Kiwi -- I think "spelt" should be spelled "spelled." ;)) - territurtle, Dec 21, 2011

Hey Terri, ah there you see I'm giving away my British English roots ;) - both are correct but spelt probably looks very weird to an American although we too can buy it in the supermarket je je http://www.grammarist.com/spelling/spelled-spelt/ - Kiwi-Girl, Dec 21, 2011

Answer 3

It's "vayas", not "ballas" - just to let you know. (: It means Hope you're well; you're a good worker.
