reflexi贸n

The Spanish word for reflection is 'reflexi贸n'. It is used similarly to how it is used in English; to indicate the mirroring of light or other waves, or to suggest deep thought or consideration about something.

Here's how to use it:

  • La reflexi贸n es una parte crucial del aprendizaje.
  • La reflexi贸n en el espejo estaba distorsionada.
  • Tras mucha reflexi贸n, Juan decidi贸 cambiar de trabajo.

metas

In Spanish, 'metas' is used to refer to objectives or goals one intends to achieve. It can be used in a variety of contexts, just like 'goals' in English. For example, personal goals (metas personales), career goals (metas de carrera), etc.

Here's how to use it:

  • Ella tiene altas metas para su futuro
  • Es importante que establezcas claras metas
  • Las metas son como los sue帽os con una fecha l铆mite

Voleibol

Volleyball is a sport played by two teams of six players each on a court divided by a net. The objective is to send the ball over the net in a way that the opposing team is unable to return it.

Here's how to use it:

  • La pelota de voleibol es blanca.
  • Mi hermano juega al voleibol profesionalmente.
  • El partido de voleibol fue emocionante.

aumento

The Spanish word 'aumento' is used much in the same way the English word 'increase' is used. It can refer to a rise in a numerical or monetary value, a physical expansion, or a growth in intensity. It can also be used as a verb, 'aumentar', meaning to raise or enhance something.

Here's how to use it:

  • El aumento de poblaci贸n en la ciudad es excesivo.
  • El aumento de libros en la biblioteca es notable.
  • El a帽o pasado hubo un aumento de turistas en la ciudad.

venta

The term sale refers to the act of selling a product or service in return for money or other compensation. It's one of the primary functions of any business.

Here's how to use it:

  • La venta de entradas comienza ma帽ana.
  • La venta de alcohol est谩 prohibida a menores de edad.
  • Realizaremos una venta de garaje este fin de semana.
