tengo
I have, Spanish
Tengo is Spanish for "I have," the first-person singular present tense of *tener*.
It appears frequently in Spanish phrases borrowed into English: Tengo hambre means "I'm hungry," tengo que irme means "I have to go." English speakers encounter it in basic Spanish classes, bilingual contexts, and code-switching: No tengo dinero, sorry.
