| 释义 | tilde (once / 10059 pages) n A tilde is a character on a keyboard that looks like a wavy line (~). The Spanish alphabet has 27 letters instead of the English 26, because it includes both n and ñ, each of which is pronounced differently. The tilde has other uses as well.

When you put a tilde before a number, for example, you're saying that the number is approximate.
