In this lesson I have 7 usually made use of Spanish words that you should certainly know ahead of moving or relocating to Latin America. All of these 7 words are household words. Let's start with how to say light switch in Spanish:
one. Interruptor - switch as in "light switch"
La oscuridad impedía ver el inerruptor.
The darkness prevented seeing the light switch.
By the way, in Colombia the "gente" (many people) are familiar with the word "interruptor" but the word that I hear Colombians use for light switch is "switche." Certainly, they "borrowed" the word "switche" from our English language.
How to say electrical outlet in Spanish:
2. Toma (de corriente eléctrica) - electrical outlet
Enchufa esto en la toma.
Plug this in the outlet.
How to say electrical plug in Spanish:
3. Enchufe - electrical plug
El enchufe de la licuadora ya no sirve, hay que cambiarlo por uno nuevo.
The blender's plug no longer functions, you have to adjust it for a new 1.
How to say to plug one thing-in in Spanish:
four. Enchufar - to plug a thing in
Enchufaste la lámapara que está cerca de tu cama.
You plugged in the lamp That's close to your bed.
By the way, if you use the verb "conectar" (to connect) rather of "enchufar" you will also be understood by Spanish speakers.
How to say to unplug some thing in Spanish:
5. Desenchufar - to unplug
Antes de lamer la batidora, desenchúfala
Ahead of licking the mixer/beater, unplug it.
How to say to turn some thing off in Spanish:
6. Apagar - to turn off as in to turn off the lights.
Cuando salgan, apaguen la luz.
When you guys leave, turn out the lights.
How to say to turn a thing on in Spanish:
7. Prender - to turn on as in turn on the lights.
Prendieron la luz.
They turned on the lights.
Be conscious that in Spain you are most likely to hear Spanish speaks use the verb "encender" rather of "prender."
Just before I conclude today's lesson on 7 normally applied Spanish words that you should really know prior to moving or relocating to Latin America, I want to say "gracias" to all the concerned subscribers to my understanding Spanish newsletter who who sent me emails asking if I was O.K. just after hearing on "las noticias" (the news) that in 1 day more than 180 persons died in a "derrumbe" (landslide) in Medellin.
It was a incredibly unfortunate "desastre" (disaster). From what I heard, Medellin and the rest of Colombia have not had this significantly rain in about 40 years, and it has brought on huge "derrumbes" (landslides) all through Colombia.
