Usage Note

Entremezclar is an intensive or emphatic compound of mezclar (to mix), with entre- suggesting mutual interweaving rather than a simple mix. It is often used reflexively — entremezclarse — to describe things or people that mingle or become interwoven: los idiomas se entremezclan ('the languages intermingle'). It appears mainly in written and literary registers; in everyday speech mezclar or mezclarse usually suffices.

Examples

"Las culturas se entremezclan en esta ciudad."
