"Las llaves"
Translation:The keys

This is odd: when I click the prompt to hear the whole two-word sentence it sounds like "Las Ya-vess." But if I only put the cursor over the last word it sounds like "Ja-vess" with a "J" sound. Why is that?
So this course would be Mexican / Latin American spanish? What dialect would you say it is?
this happens a lot in the app. I think it may be because the way spanish is taught is kind of loose. Like school learned spanish is super proper, but a native spanish speaker would think you learned spanish 20 years ago if you spoke what was taught in schools.
the Spanish football player Xavi. I heard his name being pronounced as 'javi' or 'chavi'. So, are 'll' and 'x' supposed to be pronounced in the same way in Spanish ?

Indeed, "llave" is feminine. Typically, words that end in '-a', '-d', '-z', or '-ión' are feminine. 'Llave' happens to be one of a few exceptions to the rule. For more information, check the link below.

"Llaves" are the keys to a lock, car, door, etc. "Clave" can also mean "key"... as in the tonality (key) of a musical composition; the most important (key) aspect of something; or secret (key) to solving something for example.
Surprised by Jaavees. My mother tongue is Tamil and it means the same. May be Spanish ruled here for sometime and the word stuck to us.....
How can I tell whether it is a femaine or masculin word then? thanks

I always tell my student's that for the most part nouns that end in -a are "usually" feminine. Nouns that end in -o are "usually" masculine. I say "usually" because the rule doesn't always apply such as with "las llaves". These are some of the exceptions that we have to memorize. As you continue on your language acquisition you will recognize these special gender nouns with out a problem.
It varies according to the region that people pronounce. Normally when it is 'll' it is pronounced as 'y'
There is no arbitrary reason or rule to why it is feminine. You just have to remember. In Spanish every noun has a gender.
