juego info.

To remember the word “juego” in Spanish as the translation for “game,” you might think about the letters “J” in both words, or even think of a common game “jacks,” which starts with a “J” as well.

“Juego” is derived from the Latin word “iocum,” meaning “joke, sport, pastime.” In Spanish, it specifically refers to a game or any form of play. It can be used in different contexts relating to games, sports, and entertainment.

Other words that mean the same thing as “juego” in Spanish include “partida” (referring to a match or round of a game), and “videojuego” specifically for video games.

In terms of alternate meanings and slang, “juego” can also refer to the act of playing (“jugar un juego” means “to play a game”) and sometimes to a set of something, such as tools, like in “juego de llaves” (set of keys/wrenches). It can be used to describe the workings/machinations of something, as in “el juego de la política” (the game of politics).

Examples of sentences using “juego”:

– Me encanta este juego; lo juego todos los días. (I love this game; I play it every day.)
– ¿Quieres unirte a nuestro juego de fútbol el sábado? (Do you want to join our soccer game on Saturday?)
– Los niños están en el parque jugando a un juego. (The children are at the park playing a game.)
