Usage Note

Variar means to vary, change, or diversify. It belongs to the -iar group that stresses the i in the present tense singular and third-person plural (varía, varías, varía, varían), unlike regular -ar verbs. The phrase para variar is a common ironic expression meaning 'for a change' — often used sarcastically when something predictable happens again.

Examples

"Los precios varían según la temporada."

Natural Translation

Prices vary according to the season.
