    I was watching a video on YouTube today where the person was demonstrating some things and kept going “voila”, but everytime he said it, he didn’t really pronounce the v, so it sounded more like moilah. One step away from moolah (slang for money).

    It was bizarre.

    I just couldn’t not hear it. I completely forget what the video was about.

        Be careful with this, Viola sounds close to the past perfect of the verb violer, which can mean to break a rule (violer une règle) or worse, to rape

          I doubt an English listener would make that mistake, sounds nothing like “violate.”
