Ever felt like you're missing out on a secret handshake when you hear people saying "poder" in Spanish? Yeah, me too. But guess what? You're about to become the life of the party, because we're going to learn how to say 'power' in Spanish together. ¡Vamos!
First things first: "Poder" is your new best friend
In Spanish, 'power' is typically translated as "poder". Easy peasy, right? Now, you might be thinking, "But I've heard 'power' used in other ways in Spanish." And you'd be right! Spanish is like that cool friend who has many nicknames. Let's meet the rest of the crew.
When you're talking about electrical power
If you're discussing the kind of power that keeps your phone charged and your lights on, you'll want to use "energía eléctrica". But if you're feeling fancy, you can also say "electricidad". Both will get the job done, so don't stress about it.

Feeling powerful? Say it with me: "Tengo poder"
Now, let's say you're feeling like a superhero and you want to express your power. You can say "Tengo poder" (I have power). But be careful, because this can also mean "I can" or "I am able to". So, use it wisely, and don't go around claiming powers you don't have. That's just asking for trouble.
Power to the people: "El poder del pueblo"
In Spanish, we also use 'power' to talk about political power, like when we say "el poder del pueblo" (the power of the people). But remember, when you're talking about government or politics, it's usually better to stick with "poder" on its own.

Power up your vocabulary with these verbs
Now that you've got the basics down, let's power up your Spanish with some verbs that use 'power'. "Poder" can be a verb too, meaning 'to be able to' or 'to have the power to'. For example, "Puedo hablar español" means "I can speak Spanish". Isn't that cool?
And if you want to say 'to empower', you can use "empoderar". It's a bit more modern, but it's a great word to know if you're into that sort of thing. Like, "Esa conferencia me empoderó" - "That conference empowered me".
