Ocasión
 

This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word for December 7, 2009

ocasión (feminine noun (la)) — chance, opportunity, time, occasion, motive, cause. Look up ocasión in the dictionary

Ésta es una buena ocasión para decírselo.
This is a good opportunity to tell him.

En la primera ocasión que surja...
At the first available opportunity...

La ocasión hace al ladrón.
Opportunity makes the thief.

Estamos reunidos hoy en ocasión del aniversario de nuestra boda.
We are gathered here today to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

Pues para mi "ocación" y "ocasión" son distintas...

I think the Word Robot has blundered. It should be ocasión

:rolleyes: Ya lo sé.

It's spelled correctly in the examples. :)

A saying:

La ocasión hace al ladrón.

Does that mean the same thing as the sample sentence?

Sorry, i didn't read it :o

Well, this is a play, too :D

If I was really honest, i had told you that I'm at work (and I shouldn't be here ;)), so I read fast... :whistling:
