exagerar
/eɡsaxeˈɾaɾ/ · B1 · verb
to exaggerate, to overstate, to overemphasize
🎈 Latin ex- + agger (heap): to heap something up far too high
It is the same word as English exaggerate, but Spanish writes only one g. That g sounds like the throaty Spanish j: ek-sa-he-RAR. Like other -ar verbs, it conjugates as exagero, exageras, exagera.
