Walla? or Voila?

[sun818]

Why do Americans, say Walla? I thought it was Voila? (french) - Or does Walla have some other meaning?

[AAnnAArchy]

Because some Americans don't know that it's French.

voilą....

second person singular imperative of voir (to see)....lą, (there).

voilą = "to see there"...or "there it is"...or "here it is".

Do they? In my part of the US most wouldn't dare use such a term....now y'all have a nice day;)
