declaración
statement
The word 'declaración' in Spanish translates to 'statement' in English. It is most commonly used in the legal and financial fields, similar to English. For example, one might give a 'declaración' to the police (statement to the police) or file a 'declaración de impuestos' (tax statement). However, it's also used in daily conversation much like in English, possibly to describe a declaration or statement made by a person about a particular matter.
