Frequently Asked Questions

Is 'monitorear' a real word? I heard it's just 'Spanglish.'

It is a real, recognized word! While it was influenced by English, it is fully accepted by the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE), especially in Latin America.

Can I use it to mean 'watching a baby'?

Yes, but it sounds a bit technical. For a baby, you might use 'vigilar' or 'cuidar' (to take care of) unless you are specifically talking about using a baby monitor device.

How do I say 'monitoring' as a noun (e.g., 'The monitoring of the project')?

In that case, use 'el monitoreo' or 'la monitorización.' For example: 'El monitoreo es constante.'
