The Story Behind "Ojalá"
One of the most beautiful words in Spanish has Arabic roots.
Ojalá comes from an Arabic expression meaning something like "if God wills it."
Today, Spanish speakers use ojalá to express hopes and wishes:
Ojalá que llueva mañana. (I hope it rains tomorrow.)
It's also one of the most common triggers for the subjunctive mood.
A single word that connects modern Spanish to centuries of history.
