Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "ohr" (as in "oh") + "deh" (as in "debt") + "nah" (as in "nacho") + "DOHR" (as in "door")/

Meaning

A computer in Spain, the word that instantly tells a Spaniard apart from a Latin American. While the whole continent says "computadora" or "compu," in Spain it's "ordenador" and that's non-negotiable.

Examples

My ordenador froze again.

I need a new ordenador for work.
