This is something that happens in all languages!<br \/>\nHowever, it is something we must be careful when we try to use them as they are, as sometimes the words do not match the way we use them.<br \/>\nIn this blog post, we are going to take a look at some of the most used anglicisms and how to use them correctly in Spanish. Read on to find out more!    <\/p>\n<h2>Anglicisms in travel<\/h2>\n<p>  One of the most obvious environments where Anglicisms are used is in travel, as hotels and airports communicate in English with their customers.<br \/>\nHere are some examples: <strong><em>What time is check-in \/ checkout?<\/em><\/strong> \u2192 (Being at an airport): What time is check-in \/ checkout? <strong><em>Where can I check in \/ out? <\/em><\/strong>\u2192 (Being in a hotel): What time can I check in \/ check out \/ is check in? <strong><em>I&#8217;m sorry, due to overbooking there is no more room on the flight. <\/em><\/strong>\u2192 I&#8217;m sorry, there has been overbooking \/ overbooking and there are no seats left on this flight. <strong><em>The holiday was all inclusive. <\/em><\/strong>\u2192 It was an all inclusive \/ all inclusive vacation package.<br \/>\nPay special attention to check-in and check-out.<br \/>\nIf you look at them they act as nouns, but check in and check out act as verbs.<br \/>\nIn Spanish, however, they are used only as nouns.      <\/p>\n<h2>Anglicisms with technology and the world of work<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full  lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/funtalk.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/chica-en-reunion.jpg\" alt=\"girl in meeting\" width=\"1000\" height=\"668\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/funtalk.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/chica-en-reunion.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/funtalk.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/chica-en-reunion.jpg 980w, https:\/\/funtalk.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/chica-en-reunion.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/668;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full \" src=\"https:\/\/funtalk.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/chica-en-reunion.jpg\" alt=\"girl in meeting\" width=\"1000\" height=\"668\" \/><\/noscript>  Another environment where it is very common to see Anglicisms is in the work environment and new technologies.<br \/>\nLet&#8217;s look at some common examples: <strong><em>Did you see my email about the meeting?<\/em><\/strong> \u2192 Did you see my email \/ mail about the meeting?   <strong><em>I&#8217;ll email you the details<\/em><\/strong>  \u2192 I then send you the details by email \/ mail.  <strong>Note: In English, it would not be correct to say &#8220;&#8230;&#8221;.<\/strong><strong><em>I&#8217;ll send you by email the details<\/em><\/strong><strong>&#8220;We should therefore pay special attention.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>I have a meeting at 5  <\/em><\/strong>\u2192 I have a meeting at 5 o&#8217;clock.  <\/p>\n<h2>Sports<\/h2>\n<p>  The names of sports are often anglicized, however, on some occasions we must be careful because in English some words are verbs, while in Spanish they act as nouns.<br \/>\n<strong><em>I love surfing<\/em><\/strong> \u2192 I love surfing \/ surfing.   <strong><em>Can you windsurf?  <\/em><\/strong>\u2192 Do you know how to windsurf?  <\/p>\n<h2>Anglicisms with food and beverages<\/h2>\n<p>  For the most part, the anglicisms used in Spanish referring to food or drink <strong>work identically<\/strong>.<br \/>\nHowever, there are a few that you should be careful with, here they are: <strong><em>Would you like a sandwich?<\/em><\/strong> \u2192 Would you like a bocadillo \/ sandwich? <strong><em>Chips (U.S.)<\/em><\/strong> \u2192 Potato chips (bagged). <strong><em>Chips (UK).<\/em><\/strong> \u2192 They usually say it referring to potatoes that are peeled, cut up and fried. <strong><em>Crisps (UK) <\/em><\/strong>\u2192 French fries (bagged).<br \/>\nThat would be it for this article!<br \/>\nWe hope it has helped you to clear up some of the doubts you might have regarding some of the Spanish anglicisms.<br \/>\nNow, don&#8217;t misuse them again!    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those who do not know what an anglicism is, they are\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4246,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3812","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-english-classes"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Anglicisms You Should Know | Funtalk<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"In everyday life we use different anglicisms, often without even realizing it.
