How do you say an email address in Spanish?)
Let’s say you’re giving someone your email to sign up for more information on a great study abroad excursion that you are very excited about. Firstname.lastname@gmail.com. But how do you say the @ or the dots in Spanish? What about an underscore or a hyphen? This is something that trips up a lot of people when they are travelling, even if they are intermediate-level Spanish speakers. We get so accustomed to saying our email address in English that it is practically muscle memory.
Here are the ways that you can verbally say the symbols in an email address when you are talking in Spanish:
Symbol | English | Spanish |
---|---|---|
@ | at | arroba or algarroba |
- | dash or hyphen | guión |
_ | underscore | barra bajo |
. | dot | punto |
/ | forward slash | barra |
\ | backslash | barra invertida |
no spaces | todo seguido |
So… You would say the email address “First_name.last_name@gmail.com” as “first barra bajo name punto last barra bajo name algarroba gmail punto com.”
(By the way, the correct term for “email” in Spanish is “correo electrónico”, and “email address” is “dirección de correo electrónico”. If you want to ask someone for their email address, you might say “¿Cuál es tu dirección de correo electrónico?”
But, if you said “¿Cuál es tu email” … most people are probably going to understand what you mean! Thanks for reading about how to say your email address aloud in Spanish. You may also enjoy:
