La palabra del día:
crecer
Pronunciación aproximada:
creh-SEHR (The Spanish r here is pronounced with a tap of the tongue against the front of the palate. In most of Spain the second c in this word is pronounced much like the "th" in "thin.") Listen
Significado:
to grow, either in size or maturity
Ejemplo:
Todos podemos crecer en sabiduría y conocimiento.
Traducción:
All of us can grow in wisdom and knowledge.
Aviso:
Crecer is conjugated irregularly in the same way that conocer is. Most importantly, the first-person singular indicataive form ("I grow") is crezco. The verb is regular in other indicative forms but is irregular in the present subjunctive: que yo crezca, que tú crezcas, que él/ella crezca, que nosotros crezcamos, que vosotros crezcáis, que ellos crezcan.
