la

Follows sol musically

La is the sixth note of the musical scale in solfège (do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si).

In French, Spanish, and Italian, la is the feminine definite article meaning "the." In casual speech, la can express dismissiveness: Well, la-di-da. (Capitalized La is the chemical symbol for lanthanum; LA is Los Angeles.)
