Ten-er Di-ver-ti-do [tehn-ehr dee-vehr-TEE-doh] v.
1. To be in posession of fun; Tengo divertido en mi bolsa, y quiero usarlo durante la clase de historia (I have/am in posession of fun in my pocket, and I want to use it during history class)
2. To make a mistake in Spanish grammar; He generally does well on Spanish orals, but he always teners divertido (also acceptable: tiene divertido) when there's too much pressure
3. To say something incorrectly in Spanish that demostrates the need to review basic grammar; "I cannot tell you how many of you are tenering divertido" -Sra. riggs
The Spanish verb meaning "to have fun" is divertirse, literally more like "to enjoy oneself." Unfortunately, many Spanish students try to translate our way of saying it directly, with the result above.
