Today’s Spanish word of the day is “casar”.
It’s a verb meaning “to marry” or “to wed”. The reflexive form, “casarse”, translates as “to get married”.
Like the English verb “to marry”, it can also be used in a more metaphorical sense to refer to things that pair well together, for example:
- Casaron bien los colores de la habitación. – The colors of the room matched well.
The word “casar” comes from Latin casa, meaning “house” (the same word as Spanish “casa”).
A common saying in Spanish is “el casado casa quiere”, meaning “the newlywed wants a house”. This reflects the idea that when people get married, they traditionally move into a new home together.
