The Spanish word for cow is vaca.
This term is used in a variety of contexts, whether you’re talking about the animal on a farm or referring to beef in culinary discussions. The pronunciation of ‘vaca’ can be broken down phonetically as ‘vah-kah’.
In Spanish, nouns have gender, and ‘vaca’ is a feminine noun. This is important because adjectives and articles that relate to ‘vaca’ will also need to agree in gender. For example, you would say ‘la vaca’ for ‘the cow’, where ‘la’ is the feminine article.
