Why does everyone always ask how to say "lama" in spanish?

Question

I know lamas are important animals in Peru, but seriously, why does everyone always ask "Como se lama"? I don't understand...

Answer 1

In Perú llama is an animal, but in spanish "llama" is What is your "name"? and it is pronounce like "yes"

Answer 2

Besides, there's the "lama" the Buddhist priest, like the Dalai Lama, and a native Spanish speaker would say "l-a-m-a".
Why do you find it so difficult being at peace with a language so rich? Moreover, a Spanish speaker would never pronunce "llama" as "lama."

Answer 3

it is not lama but llama and you pronounced with y like in yes
yama.

Cómo se llama? What is it called? is something else.

Answer 4

it's llama and it has two meanings. "Como se llama" means "what's it called"

Answer 5

Because it ain't enunciated l- a- m- a and it ain't an animal
duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
