Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like the English word "print" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/

Meaning

To print a document or photo from a device. Printear is the casual Hispanicized version of the English "print," perfectly understood everywhere even if language purists prefer "imprimir." In offices and schools across Latin America, this is the everyday word.

Examples

Print that out before the office closes or you will lose your appointment.

The printer is not printing well, everything has been blurry since yesterday.
