La Palabra curiosa
Madrugar
Do you know what madrugar means?
Madrugar means “to wake up / get up really early”
It comes from the Latin word maturicare, related to maturus (“early” or “ripe”) and is connected to the idea of doing something ahead of time.
In Spanish-speaking cultures, madrugar is often associated with work, school, travel or productivity.
Mañana tengo que madrugar para ir al aeropuerto.
I have to get up early tomorrow to go to the airport.
Ayer tuve que madrugar para poder ponerme al día en el trabajo.
Yesterday I had to get up really early so that I could catch up on work.
