Also means
hi
Usage Note
hola has a silent h, so it sounds like 'OH-lah' — don't confuse it with the look-alike ola ('wave'). It's neutral in register, fine for friends and strangers alike, and is often doubled with a question: ¡Hola! ¿Qué tal?
Examples
"¡Hola! ¿Cómo estás?"
Natural Translation
Hello! How are you?
