humor
mood, humour
noun oo-MOHR Less Common
Origin: From Latin humor (fluid, moisture), via the theory of the four bodily humours.
Also means
wit, sense of humour
Usage Note
Humor covers both current emotional state (estar de buen/mal humor, to be in a good/bad mood) and the quality of being funny (sentido del humor, sense of humour). The phrase humor negro is 'dark humour'. As with all Spanish words beginning in h, the h is silent, so it sounds like oo-MOHR.
Examples
"Hoy está de muy buen humor y sonríe a todos."
Natural Translation
Today she is in a very good mood and smiles at everyone.
