Plug-in

[Jaqui]

What's the right way for saying plug in, as in the place on the wall where you plug in a power cord. Is encufe right?

[celador]

enchufe y tomacorrientes

and i think there is another more idiomatic term which i can't recall.

[sosia]

celador it's right.
in Spain it's enchufe or toma de corriente

[lenny1]

To plug in is enchufe. To plug in - enchufar, exam. plug it in - enchufala

[Tomisimo]

In Mexico, in addition to enchufe and toma de corriente, you can also use contacto or contacto de luz.

[v9]

This is the same word, but another meaning, how to say plugin but as a toolbar or a plugin for a program?

[celador]

In Mexico, in addition to enchufe and toma de corriente, you can also use contacto or contacto de luz.

That was it ! contacto del luz. I knew i'd seen something like that.

and the electricity, or power is just called simply.. el hyrdo o hidroelélectrico
