No ser capaz de

Hola , ¿qué significa?

No somos capaces de infinitivo

We don´t have the capacity to + infinitive

En el diccionario busqué "no somos capaces de entenderlo" = "It boggles the mind / we dont have the capacity to understand it"

In these cases is best to have in mind that just as the plural, in English, of words ending in F or FE are replaced by VES, the same thing happens in Spanish to words words that end in Z.

Knife:knives - Leaf:leaves

Nuez:nueces - Tapiz:tapices
