esquiar
/esˈkjaɾ/ · B2 · verb
to ski
⛷️🎿 esquiar = es-KEY-ar, sounds like 'ski' with a head start: es + ski + ar
Spanish borrowed 'ski' from Norwegian and fitted it with a verb ending. Spot the 'qui' (said 'kee') inside esquiar: it carries the ski sound. The leading es- is a Spanish habit before sk- clusters, and -ar marks it as a verb.
