A Spanish Word I Wish English Had: Trasnochar
One of the things I enjoy about learning Spanish is finding words that don't have a perfect one-word match in English. Trasnochar is a good one.
Trasnochar means staying up very late, usually much later than you should. In English we'd normally need a phrase like stay up late or stay up all night.
Anoche trasnoché viendo una serie.
I stayed up really late last night watching a show.
You can also say no quiero trasnochar when you know tomorrow morning is going to hurt if you don't go to bed soon.
It's a simple word, but that's part of what makes learning another language fun. Sometimes one language has a neat little shortcut that the other doesn't.
