Hecho
 

This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word for April 28, 2009

hecho (masculine noun (el)) — fact, deed. Look up hecho in the dictionary

Los hechos dicen que él es el culpable.
The facts say that he is the guilty one.

Should this maybe be: Los hechos dicen que el es el culpable. ????

In fact it should be: Los hechos dicen que él es el culpable :)

Look at you!

:D

w00t!! :)

de hecho = in fact.
can de hecho ever be used to mean yes, or must it be proceeded with sí.

Not necessarily, just like in English.

This is an idiom or what?

The facts say that he is the guilty one.
Unico?

Crotalito, en este caso, "one" no se traduce. Es como si te dijera: you're the only one, se traduciría por: tú eres el único. Otro ejemplo es:

- Which picture do you like?
- I like this one (se traduciría por "me gusta ésta")

Quería añadir que "hecho" también es el participio del verbo "haber":

¿Quién ha hecho este desastre?
Lo hemos hecho nosotros solos.

It was very accurate, thank you for your explain about it.:)

you're right it should be Los hechos dicen que él es el culpable.

The Bot had another bad day. I found a mistake in another post by him. This one should go to laepelba. she gets the credit ;)

The "raise the roof" (and other related idioms) posts were moved to this thread: http://forums.tomisimo.org/showthread.php?t=3840 :)

Yes, I agree with you Jchen sometimes the both has mistakes in the his post, but I believe that it's normal because the both is programed the thread that he will set in the forum, and well, I believe that anything is perfect less us.

"Del dicho al hecho hay mucho trecho"

That is so true!

Another one:

"Hechos son amores y no buenas razones"
