Best Answer

'Violeta africana' is a Portuguese equivalent of 'African violet' [Saintpaulia spp].

The feminine noun 'violeta' means 'violet'. Its singular definite article is 'a' ['the'], and its singular definite 'uma' ['a, one']. The feminine adjective 'africana'means 'African'.

Together, they're pronounced 'vyoo-LEH-tuh uh-free-KAH-nuh'.
