Bandera de Argentina

/Sounds like "PLAH" + "yah" (as in "yacht")/

In Argentina, it's not just a sandy ocean beach — playa also means a parking lot. This catches every tourist off guard when they see signs for 'playa' in the middle of a city.

Example

"I left the car at the parking lot downtown."

"This parking lot charges a fortune per hour."
