Kneading bread, washing hands, picking fruits from the garden, donating blood… All of these actions have something in common: before carrying them out, we usually roll up the sleeves of our shirt or T-shirt to make the task easier; that is, we roll up our sleeves (or we arrange).

Remangarse received 53% of the votes, while the remaining 47% of those consulted opted for arremangarse

A week ago we asked our Instagram followers by the action of gathering the sleeves up. The vote was quite close, since both options received practically the same number of votes (53% for remangarse and 47% for arremangarse). In reality, all the answers are correct, since, starting from the noun mangaverbs are formed remangarse y arremangarseboth valid and included in the academic dictionary with the meaning set forth above.

As we already explained in the article we dedicated to scratch y dragthere are some pairs of verbs in Spanish that can be used interchangeably, such as to roll up/to roll up, to hammer/to hammer. As indicated by the New grammar of the Spanish languagethese voices They are part of the general vocabularynot other similar ones like drag y put togetherwhich have not been kept in the records.

Although these surveys do not have any scientific purpose, we want to thank the speakers for continuing to participate week after week, as their responses help us better understand what terms they use.
