You know a lot of words in Spanish were taken from Arabic and also there are some words in Arabic were taken from English and Spanish ( this is called Language influence)

Vale means yes in Arabic

Arab Words in the Spanish Language

Hmm, 'vale' seems to be Latin... https://enelagua.wordpress.com/2008/02/28/etimologia-de-vale/ - Faldaesque, May 20, 2015
Maybe ,but vale in Arabic means "yes" also it has the same pronunciation - mohamedsaleh, May 20, 2015
I'll take your word for it. There seem to be a few words in Arabic for 'yes', as in English... ;-) - Faldaesque, May 20, 2015

I always assumed it was derived from 'valer'. Interesting that it's actually arabic... ;-) - Faldaesque, May 20, 2015
