Did you know?
- Gamers in Spanish-speaking countries often use the verb viciar when talking about playing their Xbox One. While it literally means 'to addict', in this context it just means to play intensely for hours.
- Because 'Xbox' ends in a consonant sound, some Spanish speakers may add a prosthetic 'e' sound at the beginning, pronouncing it almost like 'e-ksbox'.
- In Spanish, consoles are almost always feminine because they are short for la consola. This is why people say la Xbox instead of el Xbox.
Examples in context
- Mi hermano tiene una Xbox One.My brother has an Xbox One.
- ¿Dónde compraste esa Xbox One?Where did you buy that Xbox One?
- La Xbox One es muy rápida.The Xbox One is very fast.
