Dear Lissi,
I should let Dilsia, our native Spanish-speaker, who
now writes so well in English, in my opinion, that
you'd never know it's her second language, answer this
for you. Also, probably Pratik who is multi-lingual,
or Gustavo, or is it Kellie? But I'll take a stab.
"Sala," I know, is room. "Sol" is sun. My
Spanish-English dictionary says "solar" as a noun is
"lot, plot of ground, ancestral mansion, manor."
However, the verb solar means to pave, to floor, or,t
sole, as shoes. SO sola could be third person
singular form of the verb--maybe; I think my
dictionary said it wa an irregular verb, so that might
be wong.
Th letter c doesn't have a tilde, but it does have a
cedilla under the c to make it soft (sound like s).
The cedilla is like a tiny comma attached to the
bottom of the c.
I hope in my presumption, Dilsia and Pratik and
Kellie, I haven't gone too far wrong.
