"In general there isn't a general translation for Estrenar," says Rafa Martínez-Avial.

"I feel like usually I have this problem in the opposite direction where English has so many words that sometimes it's just very hard to find a Spanish word that conveys the same nuance."
Estrenar It's a Spanish word that ... could mean to break something in, but it doesn't have to be something you wear. So it could be a new car, a new pair of shoes, or even a new partner that you're bringing to a party or a social gathering with you for the first time.
