Ways to tell them apart:
- Viola is a type of musical instrument, similar to the violin, and belongs to the string family.
- Voilà is a French word often used to express satisfaction or to call attention to something that has been presented or accomplished.
- Remember violA with an A is for the string instrument since it shares letters with the word musically-relAted words like "ARia".
- Voilà has an accent and ends with an à, which can remind you of its French origin and that it is an exclamatory expression.
- If you see the accent (à), think of French phrases or expressions, and if it's absent and possibly related to music, it might be viola.
