@gamrkidd you have to pronounce the "y" in yerba with the argentinian accent like oyu are saying "sherba" that's when it's different. Hierba means herb, yerba is the same as saying yerba mate
@gamrkidd, "yerba" may have originated from the same root as "hierba," but people who drink mate do not make that connection, and NO, nowadays yerba does not mean "herb."
i have a contradictions when i try to pronounce it. I speak fluent spanish and english, so its contradictory between english and spanish pronunciations, because Yerba means Herb in spanish,, and i dont know if thats yerba mate with the spanish word yerba. and mate, i say it in english like 'I need to find a mate'.. blah! i i say it in pure spanish i think people will get more confused,, because around here (SoCal) I dont know A SINGLE person who drinks this or knows of it.
why dont you just drink it?
