/Sounds like 'YOH-lah'/
A rickety boat used to attempt the dangerous crossing of the Mona Channel between the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. The yola represents the desperate hope of migration — thousands risk their lives on these makeshift vessels seeking a better future.
"Su primo llegó en yola hace tres años y ya tiene su negocio."
"Muchos salen en yola de noche para que no los vean. → His cousin arrived by boat three years ago and already has his own business."
"Many leave on these makeshift boats at night so they won't be spotted."
