negociar

The Spanish word 'negociar' translates to 'negotiate' in English. To negotiate is to deal or bargain with another party to come to an agreement. It can refer to discussions around the conditions of an agreement, like the terms of a job contract or a price agreement for a transaction. In general, negotiation is a process where two or more people or groups aim to reach a mutually acceptable solution.

Here's how to use it:

  • Necesito negociar con el vendedor
  • Debemos negociar los términos del contrato
  • Voy a negociar la compra de un coche

tener escalofríos

The phrase 'tener escalofríos' in Spanish translates to 'have chills' in English. This phrase is commonly used to express a feeling of being cold or frightened. It can also refer to the physical sensation of chills one might experience due to illness, fear, or excitement.

Here's how to use it:

  • Después de ver la película de terror, suelo tener escalofríos.
  • Cuando tienes fiebre alta, es normal tener escalofríos.
  • Cuando escuché esa historia escalofriante, empecé a tener escalofríos.

final triste

The Spanish phrase 'final triste' directly translates to 'sad ending' in English. It is often used to describe the conclusion of a story, movie, or event that concludes with melancholic or depressing results. This phrase is pertinent in contexts where the outcome invokes feelings of sorrow and despair.

Here's how to use it:

  • La película tenía un final triste que no esperábamos.
  • El libro cuenta la historia de un amor con un final triste.
  • A pesar de su final triste, la novela fue un éxito.

enfermedad crónica

The Spanish phrase 'enfermedad crónica' translates to 'chronic disease' in English. This refers to a health condition that is persistent or long-term in nature. Chronic diseases usually develop over a period of time and are generally not curable, but they can be managed or controlled through continuous medical care and lifestyle changes. Examples of chronic diseases include heart disease, diabetes, asthma, and cancer.

Here's how to use it:

  • Mi tío padece una enfermedad crónica que lo obliga a tomar medicación a diario.
  • La investigación de esta enfermedad crónica ha avanzado significativamente en los últimos años.
  • El manejo de la diabetes, una enfermedad crónica, implica cambios en el estilo de vida.

notar

The Spanish word 'notar' translates to 'notice' in English. It is used when someone observes, detects, or pays attention to something. Like in English, it can be used in various contexts. For example, in describing observing a change ('I noticed you changed your hair'), or expressing a need to pay attention to something ('You should notice the traffic signs.').

Here's how to use it:

  • Necesito notar los cambios en mi salud.
  • Ana ha notado una mejora en su rendimiento.
  • ¿Puedes notar la diferencia entre estos dos colores?
