Ola
This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word for June 12, 2009

ola (feminine noun (la)) — wave. Look up ola in the dictionary

No te puedes imaginar lo que una ola de mar puede traer a la orilla.
You can't imagine the things a wave can wash up on the beach.

How would I say in English?:

Viene una ola de frío.
Nueva ola de violencia en las calles de la capital.

Wave?

Wave?
Ola de frío = cold front
ola de calor = heat wave
ola de violencia = wave of violence

Thank you for the information.

Those phrases are very useful for me.

I can say.

Tomorrow come one heat wave in my city.

This last sentence is right.

Aprendí que ola significa "wave" y onda sinifica "wave/vibe"

¿Que onda? Whats the vibe?/what's up?


Tambien me interesa que en inglés hablamos "cold front" y no "cold wave". Mira un foto de un frente frío. A mis ojos es como una ola "wave".

Después de leer un poco encuentro que hay "warm fronts/los frentes calores" y "cold fronts/los frentes fríos" los cuales son los contrarios (opposites)

Estes son el frente de la tormenta, donde la temperatura cambia, y empieza llover. Se llama un "front" porque es como una pared. "el frente de la tormenta/la pared de la tormenta"

Adémas hay "heat waves/las olas calores" las cuales son tempuraturas altas prolongadas.

Ahora hay las olas fríos, las cuales son cambios rápidos de la temperatura, los cuales puede helarse objectivos como la tierra, arboles, o aún animales (los ganados)

¿Así es?
Probablemente más que quieres aprender sobre los frentes y las olas del tiempo. Espero que me entiendas

Estoy buscando para encontrar los errores en mi hilo
