If you are new here each week I share a Spanish word and the way to use it. It is just something fun that we do. This week’s word is: presentar preh-sehn-tahr’ (verb) which means to introduce, to present.
Here are a few examples of the word in use:
1. Mi compañero de cuarto de la universidad me presentó a mi novia.
My college roommate introduced me to my girlfriend.
2. En la tele esta noche estarán presentando un reportaje especial sobre la economía.
They’re going to be showing a special report on the economy on the TV tonight.
I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

Its odd that there is no word for introduce but rather the more formal ‘to present’. I always had prblems with verbs like these that are totally different!
Robin Wilson says
I think this is going to be one that I would have trouble using correctly. Verbs are always a pain in the tuckus! Thanks for the lesson!

This one is a little tricky. Like many English words, this can apparently be used it two very different contexts : to introduce v. a presentation or report. I wonder how long it would take in conversation to begin to understand the difference…

This will be a good one to try this week. This word has a very different meaning in the way it’s used compared to the English language.

Great sample sentences, sometimes I can get the gist of what the sentence is saying without reading the English version. Today was not one of those cases.
