I think there was a video someone posted here with Portuguese subtitles.
In the subtitles was the verb "googlar" meaning "to google". I assume it's the same in Spanish.
Since the verb form of Google has come into common usage, I'm curious
what other languages have a verb form of "to google" and what they are.
Yo googl? la informaci?n pero descubr? nada ;D

Yo googl? la informaci?n pero descubr? nada ;D
Very good indeed. Yes, we use the verb googlear in Spanish.
If you don't mind I'll correct a small mistake: "Yo googl? la informaci?n pero no descubr? nada". You can even forget about the word "Yo". As in other Latin languages it's not mandatory. :)

Thanks. You would think after 3 years of Spanish in school, I wouldn't suck at it so badly :D
How is googlear conjugated? Is the e left on like googleo, googleas, googlea?
-
No, you don't suck! It was just one mistake.
It's a new verb so I don't know for sure (I'm not even sure if the Real Academia Espa?ola already accepted it) but I've seen it conjugated just as you did.
-
Well I will tell you those that I use. En Espa?ol.
Googlear (infinitive)
Yo googlie (I googled)
Googleaste la informacion? (did you Google the info?)
But mainly I just say "Buscalo en Google/Search it on Google."
-
The past tense I've seen conjugated in 3 different ways:
Yo googl?.
Yo google?.
Yo googli?.
I wonder why those bums at the Real Academia Espa?ola haven't consulted us yet, santafer. ;D ;D
-
A golly I always forget the tilde ?.
Anyways, there is Spain's Spanish (Castellano) and the Latin Spanish(which varies from place to place), SO, meh.
-
Latin Spanish?
Hmm,, didnt know they spoke Spanish in ancient Rome. lmao
-
Norwegian:
? google eller ? ikke google...
We don't have a different word for google, but I was nice enough to translate the topic title...
SAY THANKS!!!!!!!!! >:(
-
I feel like I got ripped off since we're trying to figure out what Google is in other languages besides English. :-\
-
I don't feel ripped off. Now I know Norwegians use the same verb form as English speakers. Thanks AJ :)
Do you use a past tense of google? Something like "I googled that yesterday".
-
I'm interested. :)
-

Yes...
Vi sp?r google...
(We'll ask google)
Jeg spurte google
(I asked Google)
and so on and so forth...
-
So it always stay "google" then regardless of circumstances?
-
Yeah, so far...
I expect "Googled" to work its way into the language, though...
-
Looks like that Google is universal word.
Look at from Google = Katso Googlesta.
Google knows = Google tiet?
-
That's Finnish?
Google knows = Google tiet??.
Awesome. I have to start using that more often :D
