Ganar terreno al mar
venecia está ganando terreno al mar.
How can I translate this? Venice is gaining ............... |
Venice is gaining ground in its battle with rising tides. Is this true:thinking:?
|
And it s gaining ground to the sea?
|
This could be translated a couple of other ways, since 'gaining ground' may not be what the author intended.
With a little more context, we might translate it as 'Venice is reclaiming lands from the sea' or 'Venice is extending its lands into/to the sea'. |
or Venice is winning the battle against sea erosion.

Rusty,
Yes, "reclaiming" is the key word in this regard. Dean |
