I constantly come across Spanish adaptations of English verbs. As you may also have noticed, Spanish has borrowed numerous verbs from English, but you how many can you name off the top of your head?

Come on, don’t scroll down yet. Try to brainstorm a few.

Well, I was curious too, so I tried to compile the most current ones. Most of them are related to the world of computers and apps.

• googlear
• likear
• spoilear
• resetear
• stalkear
• twittear
• escanear
• postear
• spamear
• streamear
• trollear
• matchear
• resetear
• tipear
• linkear
• rapear
• paniquear
• customizar
• banear
• cliquear
• testear
• chatear
• scrolear

Did you notice all verbs except customizar did not just take and -ar ending, but an -ear ending?

Unfortunately, the use of English words in Spanish is sometimes exasperating. A little gem to illustrate my point:

Talk soon,

Happy Spanish learning,
