invitar
/imbiˈtaɾ/ · A2 · verb
to invite
💌🍽️ invitar = invite + -ar; in Spanish, whoever invites also pays the bill
From Latin invitare, the same root as English invite, so the core meaning is free. The extra sense: saying yo invito or te invito a un café means it is my treat. The v is pronounced b, and the n before it becomes m: im-bi-TAR.
