Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking countries Wi‑Fi is considered a masculine noun (el Wi‑Fi), so you’ll hear phrases like ‘el Wi‑Fi está lento’. The informal imperative (Desconecta) is common among friends, but in a workplace you’d switch to the formal Desconecte or use a more polite construction such as ‘¿Podría desconectar…?’. Also, avoid mixing English and Spanish articles – say ‘del Wi‑Fi’, not ‘de el Wi‑Fi’.
