Spanish Internet Vocabulary

Because the Internet is a very modern technology, many of the words we use come from English. Why is this language which was used for the first time. They are therefore Anglicisms.

But as we saw in the previous chapter the use of Anglicisms still uses and geographic customs.

The word Internet is often used without an article but also can be used with both male and female article. "El Internet" or "La Internet".

The word "online": how do you say in Spanish?

The word online is translated into Spanish by "en línea" when we perform any task connected to the Internet. But the English form online is also very common among those who speak Spanish.

Another word is widely used in Internet mail or email. Spanish is commonly used in the English form but the right thing is to use the Spanish translation: "correo" or "correo electrónico".

For example: I can say you:

Mi dirección de correo electrónico es: [email protected]

As you can hear, the email address we have a new word that is "arroba". The "arroba" is a letter or rather a symbol of ancient origin that was recovered in the Internet age for use in email addresses. It is written between the user name and the domain name, server or provider mail account. In English "arroba" is said "at". 

The "arroba" symbol @ in Spanish

The "arroba" symbol is a letter "a" locked in an open circle. In Spanish the word "arroba" also means old unit weight and volume variable value according to regional differences.

When we say an e-mail also added the word "punto", as in the domains or URLs to add the termination of domain or mail account provider.

"Punto" is the punctuation mark that ended with sentences and paragraphs in Spanish. English "dot" is said.

URLs (Uniform Resource Locator) in Spanish

On the Internet there are also the addresses of web pages or web sites. Also known URLs acronym, which stands for the English words in Spanish means Localizador Uniforme de Recursos (Uniform Resource Locator), so the acronym should be LUR, but still use the orignial English acronym URL). You can also listen to the English form website, but the right thing is to use the Spanish translation "sitio web" or "página web".

Urls usually start with three double-ues. (WWW). Followed by a dot (punto), and the domain name. After another dot and finally a extenson or termination, which can be com, net, es, etc.

Double-u letter (Uve doble) in Spanish can be called in several ways depending on the geographical origin of the speaker.

In Spain it is usually called "Uve doble" and Latin America is often called "doble u" or "doble ve" seen since in those countries the letter "uve" (v) also called "ve baja". 

We will review the names of the letters of the alphabet in Spanish in upcoming programs. Since there are more letters that can be difficult for students of Spanish.

Therefore the urls with the structure of the three double-ues, the domain name and extension are usually "pagina de inicio del ...
