zombi: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que el sustantivo "zombi", plural "zombis", es la adaptación al español del anglicismo "zombie". Respecto al plural de las expresiones en las que entra la palabra "zombi", son válidas tanto la estructura en aposición "aparatos/bancos zombi" como la concordancia regular: "aparatos/bancos zombis". 2, record 2, Spanish, - red%20zombi
