To stay up all night, to go without sleep, or to spend the night awake — often implying staying up later than one should, burning the midnight oil with purpose or pleasure.
From Spanish 'tras-' (beyond, through) + 'noche' (night), literally meaning 'to go through the night.' This verb captures the act of pushing beyond normal sleeping hours, whether for work, study, celebration, or simply because the night feels too precious to waste on sleep. It's more intentional than just insomnia.
Spanish turned staying up all night into poetry! While English makes us say 'pull an all-nighter' or 'stay up late,' Spanish just says 'trasnochar' and captures that deliberate choice to live through the darkness. Whether you're cramming for exams, finishing a novel, or just having the best conversation of your life — sometimes the night is too good to sleep through, and Spanish has the perfect verb for that dedication!
