registrate

Registrate is a form related to the Spanish verb registrarse, which means to register oneself. In standard Spanish, the affirmative imperative for the tú form is regístrate, with an accent on the i to indicate the correct stress. The unaccented spelling registrate is a nonstandard variant that can appear in informal writing or on digital interfaces where diacritics are omitted. The infinitive is registrarse, and related forms include registrado (registered) and el registro (the registration or record).

In contemporary usage, registrate most often appears as a label on websites and mobile apps, where it functions as a call to action meaning “sign up” or “register.” On Spanish-language sites you will commonly see Regístrate or Registrarte. In English-language contexts, the equivalent action is labeled “Register” or “Sign up.” The presence or absence of diacritics depends on typography, encoding, and audience expectations; formal writing should use Regístrate with the correct accent.

Orthographic and grammatical notes distinguish between this imperative form and the nonreflexive verb registrar (to record) or the reflexive registrarse (to register oneself). The imperative tú form regístrate applies only to the second-person singular informal subject, while other forms exist for different subjects (regístrese for usted, registrad for vosotros, regístrense for ustedes). Understanding the accent usage helps ensure correct pronunciation and standard spelling across formal and informal contexts.
