"Deletar" as Porglish?
It should be observed that [i]deletar[/i] (to delete/to erase) is [b]not[/b] Porglish, or English borrowing; it's a Latin word ([i]deletare[/i]) re-borrowed in XV or XVI century to the language.

And, although the word was revived because of English, and got some semantic specialization ([i]apagar[/i], far more common, is used in non-electronic contexts, while [i]deletar[/i] in eletronics), it doesn't count as Porglish for being already a Portuguese word.

-- Actually the wiktionary says "delete" comes from "delere", which makes sense, since english often uses the supine as the root to its latin verbs.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/delete

However, I must agree that portuguese has words like "deletério" whose root also come from "delere", although I can't agree that "deletar" doesn't count as Porglish.

Where did you take that verbs list from?
As a native brazilian portuguese speaker, I have never (NEVER!) heard of some of those words. Ok, "espreiar", "loadear", "eslaidar" and "deletar" are perfectly ok, but I have never expected (and would find it weird, to say the least) to hear "dar um suit", "bizado" or "vacuumar"?

I though maybe the list should have a "[citation needed]" there or something similar.

 * I don't think anyone would use words like "espreiar", "loadear" or eslaidar seriously. I never heard any of them. I've heard someone saying "escrolar", though.  Generally, in Portuguese we don't make verbs out of every noun like they do in English. Instead we use some kind of auxiliar, like: "passar spray", "fazer download", "virar o slide", "falar no chat", "dar um boot", "passar o mop" and so on.  Real English verbs, on the other hand, tend to become their own verbs in Portuguese: "mutar" (to mute), "dropar" (to drop), "kickar" (to kick), "plotar" (to plot), and so on. 2804:5394:10AD:9700:24C4:8E7E:57A4:49F1 (talk) 07:57, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
