grar

to migrate

verb mee-GRAHR Rare

Origin: Latin migrare (to move, wander)

Also means

to emigrate

Usage Note

Migrar means to migrate, used for both people and animals (birds, fish). Contrast emigrar (to emigrate — leave one's country) and inmigrar (to immigrate — arrive in a new country); migrar is the neutral umbrella term that covers both directions.

Examples

"Las aves migran al sur en otoño."

Natural Translation

The birds migrate south in autumn.
