Brindar
 

This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word for October 5, 2009

brindar (verb) — to offer, present, afford. Look up brindar in the dictionary

Nadie nos brindó sugerencias para arreglarlo.
No one offered us suggestions to fix it.

Also "to toast" (cheers!), which is the first definition given in the RAE.

Brindar y ofrecer , ¿sinónimos?

El sábado que viene vemos a brindar a la gente un plan para reunir todas las hinchas de fútbol para una grande fiesta (no estoy seguro de " a la gente "

Therefore there isn't a word similar for the expression Brindar in English.

For to say Brinda to gives help, I need to say offer like to ofrecer in Spanish.


I will offering them support in the tools that they need to buy today in the company.

Nice work, Bob! :thumbsup:


"A la gente" is right.


Attention: "Hincha" is a masculin, and when "grande" is placed before a substantive, it becomes "gran". ;)

¡Gracias!

I will have to dock DailyWord's pay for forgetting that.

Silly bot!! :)

@David: Despite the fact that there have been a few mistakes, I think the idea of this bot is to underline some special uses of words, apart from the main one.

I think this also promotes the discussion and explanations among forum users. :)

Okay, okay, Malila. Did all of your teachers love you when you were in school? :)

YES - I LOVE the discussions that the Daily Word starts. In fact, I subscribe to almost all of them whether I contribute or not. :)

Does it show? :lol:

Oh well many other teachers hated me for exactly the same reasons. :o

En español, para regresar a la palabra del día:
Muchos profesores me odiaban por las mismas razones que los otros me brindaban su afecto. :D

Nos has brindado una valiosa opinión (and I agree).

Habría sido mejor que me callara. Ahora DailyWord tiene motivos por brindarme enemistad.
