Are there any Spanish words that use the letter "w"?

Question

I have been studying the Spanish language for a while now and I haven't really seen any words with the letter "w." So, are there any Spanish words with the letter "w"?

Answer 1

Good question.

The letter "W" is not native to Spanish, therefore, the "W" only appears in words of foreign origin.

Answer 2

Answer 3

There aren't many that are not proper nouns, slang, or poor spellings.

For example: "wey" is just an incorrect way to spell "güey."

Answer 4

yes,there a lot of words with w example winston,wey etc

Answer 5

Wapa, weno. ¡Que wapa esa muchacha! Tenés un carro nuevo, ¡que weno!

Haha just kidding, those are actually just poorly pronounced words like guapa and bueno. I just had to add those because I hear them pronounced like that all the time and the question made me think of it.

Answer 6

Check out "k" as well, that's pretty sparse mainly imported foreign words
