resultados
/resultados/from spelling rules
The English phrase 'results' is translated into Spanish as resultados.
In specific scientific or medical contexts, one might instead use consecuencias to describe outcomes or findings. If you are referring specifically to the end result or the conclusion of a story, event or dramatic situation, the term el desenlace is more appropriate.
How does it change in a sentence?
resultados is the plural form of the masculine noun resultado. Because it is masculine and plural, you must use the masculine plural article los when referring to 'the results', forming the phrase los resultados.
How do you pronounce it?
/resultados/
Did you know?
- The word desenlace, used for the 'result' of a plot, literally translates to 'untying' or 'unraveling', imagining a story as a knot being undone.
- In a medical context, if a doctor says los resultados son negativos, it is usually good news, whereas in English 'negative results' can sometimes imply a failed experiment.
- While los resultados refers to the data, Spanish speakers often use el balance to describe the overall 'result' or sum of a situation, particularly when weighing pros and cons.
