Usage notes
This suffix is, in most cases, only reserved for casual conversation and while it is a variant of -ear it's still productive on its own, specially in informal speech. However, when translated into writing, most of the verbs using it are written with -ear instead of -iar. Cf. webear and webiar or luquear and luquiar.In most countries it's considered very informal, specially in writing.
