Usage Note

Pegatina is the standard Spain-Spanish word for a self-adhesive sticker or decal. In Latin America the more common term is calcomanía or simply sticker (borrowed from English). Pegatina comes from pegar (to stick/glue), so its etymology is transparent to learners who already know that verb.

Examples

"El niño puso una pegatina en su cuaderno."
