   Tengo una pregunta sobre el español rioplatense.

   I want to make a list of the most common verbs in Spanish, and then I want to conjugate them in the present tense and create Anki flashcards. This will require a bit of work, so I want to make sure my list of verbs is correct before doing all that work. I found two lists and combined them, but there seems to be some duplicate meanings (in English, anyway).

   Of these two lists, are there any words that you don't use in Rioplatense Spanish? If so, what words do you use instead? (You can add suggestions for additional verbs if you think there's something important I have missed.)

   I apoligize if it's difficult to read. Neither my camera nor my penmanship are top quality.

   ¡Gracias!

     @Scott I think the only one is not used much is "andar" as "to walk" but maybe yes as "to be". Some examples are "voy a andar por ahi mañana" is "i'll be there tomorrow". Also is used as "to ride" or "to mount", "andar a caballo" is "to ride a horse" or "andar en bicicle" is "to mount a bicicle".

     @felix
     Thank you very much! I'll correct the definitions before making the flashcards.

     @felix
     ¡Hola! Tengo algunas preguntas más.

     Can I use "caminar" for "to walk"?

     Does "andar" mean "ride" a bicycle or "get on" a bicycle?

     And, how do I say "get on" and "get off of" a bicycle? How do I say "get on" and "get off of" a bus?

     ¡Gracias!

     @Scott Hola. Claro, no hay problema.
     "Caminar" is "to walk". For "to get on a bus" you say "subir a un omnibus/colectivo". In Uruguay bus is "omnibus" and in argentina "colectivo". "To get on a bike" is "subir a una bici". Also, "bike" as bicicle is "bici" and "bike" as motorbike is "moto".

     @Scott "get off" is "bajar".
