THEME THURSDAY: PORTMANTEAUS (SPANGLISH): meaning and examples
Hello, readers! Today is the first Theme Thursday of June. For this month, we are looking at PORTMANTEAUS. A portmanteau is a word that is a combination of two different words, in both meaning and sound.
Today we are looking at the word SPANGLISH.
Definition: a combination of Spanish and English.
Example 1: San Diego, California is on the border of the U.S. and Mexico, and a lot of people speak Spanglish there.
Example 2: In my family, we say "I'll see you mañana" and "I love you, Tia." I think we speak Spanglish a lot!
We can make other language PORTMANTEAUS, like Chinglish (Chinese and English) and Franglais (French and English).
That's all for today. Thanks for reading, and tune in tomorrow for Phrasal Verb Friday! See you then.
