Overall

Overall
 
...as in "overall your health is improving".
I was asked how to translate this simple sentence. I said, "en general tu salud está mejorando."

Dictionaries say en conjunto. Is this another way of saying overall, and does it have the same meaning?

Your translation is the one I would have used. :thumbsup:

I think that "en conjunto" is used when you're talking about some list of objects or situations: "En conjunto tus síntomas están mejorando".

And there is also when "overall" expresses "totally", like in "The overall cost of the treatment..." -> "El costo total del tratamiento..."

I would also have used "en general". But you can use both.

Esto es un 'overall', conocido como 'overól' as well;)
En el colegio era obligatorio usarlo.http://www.eugrowshop.eu/images/files/overall.jpg

Claro, esos overoles. Tenemos una discusión sobre sus diferentes nombres aquí.

Qué bueno que los uniformes escolares donde yo crecí no se parecen en nada. :D

Debo aclarar que los overoles eran obligatorios dentro el colegio para proteger el uniforme. De todos modos los uniformes eran horribles.:eek:

Ah, escuela técnica. :)
Bueno, sí, admito que ningún uniforme es bonito... pero hay unos peores que otros. :D
