This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word for January 15, 2009

entablar - verb - to initiate, start, begin; to board up, board over. Look up entablar in the dictionary

Quise entablar una conversación con el jefe de producción pero no pude.
I tried to start a conversation with the production manager but I couldn't.

isn't there another word that means start? I forgot what it was. Or I must be wrong

Rusty January 15, 2009 09:14 AM

There are others, yes, but this thread introduces you to yet another.
You're probably thinking about empezar or comenzar.

Jessica January 15, 2009 05:28 PM

yes that's right it's empezar

The word Empezar or comenzar is translated of the following way at English as Begin and start.

Ante entablamos la junta ... "Before we start the meeting ..." Is this correct?

Not quite. The exact translation follows. A common alternative lies after that.

Antes de que = Before

comencemos = we start (subjunctive mood)
empecemos = we start (subjunctive mood)
entablemos = we start (subjunctive mood)

la reunión = the meeting (la junta is more like a board/committee meeting)
...

-or-

Antes de comenzar/empezar/entablar la reunión ...
