Usage Note

Trasmitir is an accepted variant spelling of transmitir — the RAE recognises both, though transmitir is far more common in print. Both forms mean to pass on information, to broadcast a signal, or to spread a disease. In everyday usage learners will encounter transmitir almost exclusively; trasmitir appears mainly in older or regional texts.
