A 'wage' is a fixed regular payment for work, typically calculated by the hour, day, or week. Unlike a salary which is usually a yearly sum, wages are often paid to workers in manual or service jobs based on hours worked. The word can also be used as a verb meaning to engage in or carry out something, as in 'wage war.'

Un «wage» es un pago regular fijo por trabajo, típicamente calculado por hora, día o semana.

La palabra también puede usarse como verbo que significa participar en o llevar a cabo algo, como en «wage war».
