Logear
Logear is a Spanish verb meaning to log in or to sign in. It is derived from the English word "log", which refers to the process of entering a username and password to gain access to a computer system, website, or online service. The verb "logear" is commonly used in informal contexts among Spanish speakers when discussing online activities. Its usage reflects the increasing integration of technology and English terminology into everyday Spanish. While "iniciar sesión" is the more formal and grammatically standard Spanish equivalent, "logear" is widely understood and frequently employed in casual conversation and online communication. The verb can be conjugated like other regular Spanish "-ar" verbs, for example, "yo logeo" (I log in), "tú logeas" (you log in), "él/ella/usted logea" (he/she/you log in), and so on. The past tense forms include "logueé" (I logged in) and "logueó" (he/she/you logged in). The gerund form is "logueando" (logging in). Its prevalence highlights the influence of globalization and the digital age on language.
