Today’s Aprendamos Español word is apapachar (ah-pah-pah-CHAR).

Apapachar means to show someone affection, comfort or care. Especially familiar in Mexican Spanish, the word can describe offering a hug, giving someone a little extra attention, or simply making them feel cared for.

There isn't one English word that captures its meaning perfectly. An apapacho is less about a specific action and more about the warmth and care behind it.

Who would you like to apapachar today?

Throughout Hispanic Heritage Month, we'll explore Spanish words and expressions that don't always fit neatly into a one-word English translation.
-----------
La palabra de hoy en Aprendamos Español es apapachar.

Apapachar es demostrar cariño, dar consuelo o hacer sentir querido a alguien. Es una palabra especialmente común en México y puede referirse a un abrazo, una muestra de cariño o simplemente a ese cuidado especial que le damos a alguien.

Un apapacho no se trata solamente de lo que hacemos, sino del cariño con el que lo hacemos.

¿A quién te gustaría apapachar hoy?

Durante el Mes de la Herencia Hispana, exploraremos palabras y expresiones en español que no siempre tienen una traducción exacta de una sola palabra en inglés.

Talk about Patriot pride! Our Goose Creek Memorial Patriots have been giving it their all every single week, showing up with heart and hustle no matter the opponent.

Our Patriot students recently demonstrated their support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month by wearing pink. 🩷 The band, color guard, and Dazzlers also showcased their talent with outstanding performances.

Let’s continue to support and encourage them as they strive for further success!

Students in government classes attended a presentation led by representatives from the Elections Department, who discussed the different types of elections and ways to cast a ballot. Students also had an opportunity to explore a demonstration voting machine to become familiar with the voting process.

Today’s Aprendamos Español words are tocayo and tocaya (toh-KAH-yoh / toh-KAH-yah).

A tocayo or tocaya is someone who has the same first name as you.
English has the word namesake, but it isn’t quite the same. In Spanish, especially in Mexico, tocayo and tocaya are commonly used as a friendly way to acknowledge that shared name.

Sometimes discovering you have a tocayo creates an instant little connection.

Do you have a tocayo or tocaya in your family, school or workplace?

Throughout Hispanic Heritage Month, we'll explore Spanish words and expressions that don't always fit neatly into a one-word English translation.
------------
Las palabras de hoy en Aprendamos Español son tocayo y tocaya.

Un tocayo o una tocaya es una persona que tiene el mismo nombre que tú.

Es una palabra muy común en México y muchas veces se usa de una manera amistosa cuando descubrimos que compartimos el mismo nombre con alguien. A veces, encontrar a tu tocayo crea una pequeña conexión desde el primer momento.

¿Tienes un tocayo o una tocaya en tu familia, escuela o trabajo?
