Procrastination
I was reading some blogs and I found that word.
As I didn't know what does it mean, I searched it on Google Translator and when I saw the translation: "dilación", I didn't understand it, again.
It's curious how sometimes you can find words in your own language that you didn't know that exist.
Then I realized that "dilación" and "procrastinación" are normaly used in Spain, but I've never heard that words in Ecuador, at least in a daily conversation.
I like how it sounds "procrastinación", and it's a word with a deep meaning. I don't know another word with the same meaning so I think I'll start using it. I just hope my friends don't think that I'm just trying to look interesting.

Hello Nasea! Thank you for your words. I must admit sometimes I'm a little lazy. I think it's because of that I read blogs instead of books haha

Hello Davi. Thank you for your comment. I think no one knows 100% their own native language, we always can learn new words and phrases. Something to keep in mind when we are learning a foreign language :)

I think it is wonderful that you are taking the initiative to look into the words that are new for you. Don't worry about your friends because using the words is how you really learn and understand them. Your friends should be proud of you Andres. My husband is a Procrastinator and I always call him the "King of Leisure," Ha Ha

I also discovered this one lately, we also have it in portuguese (procrastinação) but no one uses it either. We usually make use of some expressions for this situation where you keep fooling yourself to delay something you must to.
