empapo

Empapo is a verb form in Spanish and Portuguese. In Spanish, empapo is the first-person singular present indicative of empapar, meaning to soak or saturate with liquid. It is used to describe the action of wetting something: Yo empapo la esponja con agua. In Portuguese, eu empapo is similarly the first-person present indicative of empapar, meaning I soak.

The term is not commonly treated as a standalone noun in standard dictionaries in English; its primary use is as a verb form in these Romance languages. In cross-linguistic contexts, speakers may encounter empapo in bilingual sentences, where it retains its original verb meaning. Some dialects or literary usages may occasionally treat the form as a noun to convey the concept of soaking, but such uses are nonstandard.
