I had never heard the word deslave in my entire life . To be frank I'm not sure how I would say landslide in Spanish . I'm going to do a Rusty and check in the net.............It seems on this side of the pond we say deslizamiento de tierras.

Maria José, the word Deslabe that the word in English is landslide is very used on my country I don't know if of the other side of our puddle is mostly used for the Spain's people, but the word Deslabe sound well for me, and it's correctly used in the sentence all, then the word inside of a dictionary, inclusive if you find the word from the internet, you can find the appropriate use of the word, you can suffix the word when you need to say the ground is landsliding, or you home is landsliding instead to say, you home is falling or drooping.

I hope my examples could to be of great help for you.

In addition to what Rusty says, there is also derrumbe and corrimiento de tierra, with tierra being singular.

Sorry about letting so many mexicanismos slip into the daily word. Nice to see you back María!

I have heard the word desliz for landslide, but when I looked it up in the dictionary I saw it meant slide. Has anyone reading this heard the word desliz used for landslide?

I don't mind your using Mexican words at all, David.On the contrary. In fact I find it very interesting. I was just trying to point out the difference. It's nice to be able to understand different ways of saying the same thing. I will probably forget deslave very soon... but at least it will sound familiar next time I hear it.
