frecuentar

to frequent

verb freh-kwen-TAHR Rare
Travel & Places Movement

Origin: From Latin frequentare (to crowd, to visit often).

Also means

to visit regularly

Usage Note

Frecuentar takes a direct object — a place or a person: frecuentar un bar, frecuentar malas compañías (to frequent bad company). It is more formal than ir mucho a or visitar seguido. The adjective frecuente and adverb frecuentemente share the root, and learners should note that frecuentar does not imply the same shadowy connotation as the English 'to haunt a place'.

Examples

"Solía frecuentar esa cafetería cada mañana."

Natural Translation

He used to frequent that café every morning.
