Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking countries "enganchado" is informal and usually refers to media, games, or habits. It’s less common to use it for people—saying "estoy enganchado a mi pareja" can sound odd or even disrespectful. Also, some regions prefer "adicto" for stronger addictions, while "enganchado" stays light‑hearted.
