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

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.

In many cases, they are synonyms, yes.

Nice work, Bob!


"A la gente" is right.


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

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?

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

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

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