penalti: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, explica que penalti es la adaptación gráfica del anglicismo penalty, ‘máxima sanción que se aplica a ciertas faltas del juego cometidas por un equipo dentro de su área’ [...] El Diccionario panhispánico de dudas señala que la grafía inglesa debe evitarse y que se trata de una palabra llana, por lo que se pronuncia /penálti/, no /pénalti/. [...] El plural de este sustantivo es penaltis, no penalties ni penaltys. Además, recoge como variantes penal, que es la forma extendida en América, o pena máxima. 5, record 2, Spanish, - tiro%20penal
