4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: " I thank you for the translation of word "choya" from Spanish to English. We are trying to find a name for our small ranch (7 acres.) (How do you say 7 acres in sp.? ) My husband remembered his mother's horse named "Choya" and felt this might be a pretty name for our ranch. But when I asked the waiter in Mexican Restaurant what choya meant, he smiled and looked at me questionably.From your explanation, I would assume that the horse Choya - must have been male? I was semi-embarrassed - want to make certain the word is acceptable and appropriate for name of our ranch. Would you see any reason not to use the name for a ranch? Or should I blush when telling others what we named the place? Also - in my heart - I was hoping to find a word or two to use for the ranch name that means something special ---- but I can't speak Spanish.... I wonder how you say "land of two hearts?" Or something that expresses beauty of nature - or love of two people - without getting "corny." You may be laughing by now --- but if you have any suggestions, do tell me? Thank you again. Both answers I received on choya were good but since I did ask about the smiling waiter - I felt yours was the very best answer. Thanks again - Kathy "
