So, I got into a little chat in the comments today, in [this question](https://spanish.stackexchange.com/questions/5236/cual-es-el-verbo-para-party-en-espanol).

My answer:

> "Festejar".
>  Translating your example, it would end up being something like:
>  ¡Esta noche quiero festejar!
>  You can also use "Celebrar", which translates to "Celebrate". It depends on the context. For this particular translation, I'd go with "Festejar".

I answered the question as it was specified (that is, with no region specified). It was pointed out that the answer be prone to misunderstandings in some regions.

What I want to know is: is the question valid in the first place? And if it is, what is the correct way to answer it?
