- While avatar is commonly used in Spanish, it is a borrowed word from Sanskrit that originally referred to the descent of a deity to earth. In Spanish, it has transitioned from a sacred concept to a digital one.
- In some Spanish-speaking gaming communities, users might say me mola tu avatar instead of me gusta. The verb molar is a highly colloquial way to express that something is 'cool'.
