Social Media in Spanish and French

NOTE: some of these terms do not translate directly; this is because I based myself off of the vocabulary employed by each website. What they consider equivalent vocabulary might differ from what you might find in a dictionary.

Social media – Las redes sociales – Les médias/réseaux sociaux (m.)*

*Previously, in French, the expression Web 2.0 was also used, but nowadays it is being replaced more and more with the former term.

fun project for linguists who don’t have many hobbies: every time you realise that you specifically like or don’t like a certain word, put it on a list. at the end of the year, analyse it for linguistic patterns
