What is the name of the symbol in the picture?
Correct answer: Tilde
Player Peña Power
Annie, with my name the tilde has the N pronounced with a Y after the N. So instead of saying Peena you say Penya.

Player #47714581
that answer is wrong that is a virgulilla and it goes on top of Letter N to for the Ñ in Spanish exem..piña peña niña ...a tilde is the symbol to indicate a strong pronunciation on spanish letters
EH
That is not a tilde. It is a vergulilla.
PerkyLin
Giggle pig, Nope! Verguililla is Spanish for tilde.

i learnned a dash with a tilde above it was circa. as in approximately 100 years ago
Chiquita
Dezza, therefore more like a hyphen which is what I answered.
Chiquita
That is not what I was taught in my Colombian school for 11 years!! Tilde is the dash that goes above certain letters to change the accentuation of it!!! Not happy with this answer
arohanui
I had no idea it meant approximately. But it does change the pronunciation of n to ñ - ny.
Giggle pig
Player #47714581, the ~is a mathematical symbol.
Giggle pig
Player #47714581, what you’re describing are two different things. The ~and the virguililla.

Every English-language website I have found says that a tilde is this symbol ~
I think we (English) may have 'borrowed' the name incorrectly.
Player Gigi #28446253
I forwarded about the "almost" meaning in math, only remembered the enya over an N in Spanish.
Rami Shaqqouri
(~) placed over Spanish n when pronounced ny (as in señor )
Phil Oliver
Used in the Portuguese word for ' no ' = Não

in Portuguese are used to Augmentative. Eg: big boy/ boy:garoto ;garotão
PMP
If it comes from Spanish, "tilde" refers to the accent on vowels "í, á, ó, ú, é" and not to the sign on ñ.
