To regularly do something as a routine.

문화적 배경

The 'siesta' is a famous 'costumbre', though in modern cities it is more of a weekend habit than a daily one. Drinking 'mate' is a deeply ingrained 'costumbre' that serves as a social ritual. Family gatherings on Sundays are a sacred 'costumbre' involving large meals. It is a 'costumbre' to offer a 'tinto' (small black coffee) to any visitor.

🎯

Use it for emphasis

If someone asks why you do something weird, say 'Tengo la costumbre de hacerlo así.' it ends the argument!

⚠️

Gender Trap

Remember: it's ALWAYS 'la costumbre', even if you are a 200lb bodybuilder.

Slightly. 'Soler' is very common in speech, while 'tener la costumbre de' is more descriptive and used in both writing and speech.

No, it must be followed by 'de' + infinitive. To use a noun, say 'estar acostumbrado a [noun]'.

It is always 'la costumbre' (feminine).

No, that is a literal translation from other languages. In Spanish, you 'have' (tener) a habit.

You can say 'Estoy adquiriendo la costumbre de...' or 'Estoy cogiendo la costumbre de...'.
