Que significa "se trata de" en ingles?

Question

I was watching a cartoon in spanish, and I heard a phrase that I didn't know. "Se trata de". The entire phrase was "Se trata de Ikki(the name of a character)". What exactly does "Se trata de" mean?

Answer 1

In your particular case Yvonne, I believe it would mean, "it is about Ikki".

The phrase "se trata de" (although not a literal translation) usually means "it is about" - particularly when talking about a book/film etc.

Thanks,
