Etymology[edit]

Unadapted borrowing from English stan (an overly zealous fan) + -ear.

Pronunciation[edit]

  • IPA(key): /estaneˈaɾ/ [es.t̪a.neˈaɾ]
  • Rhymes: -aɾ

Verb[edit]

stanear (first-person singular present staneo, first-person singular preterite staneé, past participle staneado)

  1. Alternative spelling of estanear

Usage notes[edit]

  • Spanish orthography requires a vowel be placed before or after a word-initial s, hence why some Spanish speakers insert vowels (more specifically e) into English words without vowels before or after the word-initial s. For example, they may pronounce stop as estop or scared as escared. This variation of the word however, unlike estanear, does not follow that rule as it is an unadapted Anglicism used by teenagers.
