Haciendo reír a un militar por un like

What does “darle like” mean in Spanish?

Latin American YouTubers and TikTokers end almost every clip with a fixed phrase: “tienen que darle like y suscribirse” (“you have to give it a like and subscribe”). The construction darle + the English noun like is classic Spanglish: a Spanish dative pronoun (“to it”) plus a borrowed YouTube vocabulary word, treated as a noun. Spain mostly uses dar me gusta for the same action; Latin America went with darle like.

The phrase has hardened into a creator-class formula across Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, and beyond. This street-prank reel uses it word-for-word at the end, the universal call-to-action of the Spanish-speaking internet creator economy.
