Your word isn't here yet

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

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

Meaning

To swipe on a screen to approve or reject profiles on dating apps. Swipe right means yes, swipe left means no, and the verb 'swipear' is now as natural in Spanish as any native word. Millions of people swipear every day without a second thought about its English origin.

Examples

I spend all day swiping on Tinder and never actually go on dates.

I swiped right without reading the bio and regretted it.
