HELP

Question

I need to know how to SAY - PALMA NOVA. Is it pronounced PAMA or PALMA (with the L making a sound)? I have had arguements with work colleagues over this and although my mother speaks fluent Spanish I have to find out from someone who actually uses the language on a regular basis!

Answer 1

Hi Laura
You haven't annoyed anyone. Nobody, but nobody reads the announcements on the forum page, which is why I post the reminder. We are just pointing out some rules of the site. I am sure you realise that if there wasn't any structure, we would not know whats going on.

Answer 2

I've never done this before so I didn't know what the procedures were. If I'd known I was going to annoy so many people I wouldn't have bothered but thanks for the info

Answer 3

Nova is New in Catalan (Mallorquin, Valenciano), Galician, Portuguese, etc...
Nova= Nueva
Novo=Nuevo

Also, as James has pointed out on another post, you cannot just intervene with a random request. You have to start a new post each time.

Thank you

Answer 6

If you are referring to the tourist resort in Mallorca, I can't say because I don't speak Mallorcan, but in standard Spanish, the L in palma is definitely pronounced. Nova is a Spanish word, but it means nova as in astronomy, and doesn't fit in this context, so the word may be Latin or Portuguese or something else.

Please put your question words in the title next time.
