necesita help to translate the word "cope"

Question

Hola! ¿Como se dice "cope" in español? as in "it would help them to cope" ¡Muchos Gracias! Leah

A mi entender "cope" significa "lidiar" por ejemplo: lidiar con una situación. - hmartinez, Jan 28, 2010

Answer 1

We need a little more context...

"it would help them to cope"

Lidiar, sobrellevar, ajustarse, hacerle frente/enfrentar???

Estoy de acuerdo, en este contexto significa "lidiar". - hmartinez, Jan 28, 2010

Answer 2

• Welcome Leah.

• As Heidita says, Luis's answer sobrellevar is a good term to use.

• I've also heard sobrevivir in similar situations.

Personally, my choice would be

• aguantar

To sustain, to suffer, to bear, to endure; to abide, to stand [up to],

• Similar verbs in Spanish

tolerar, soportar, sostener, durar

Answer 3

In this case, Luisa has given you a good choice:

el amor de la familia ....les ayudaría a sobrellevar la pérdida.

Welcome to the forum

Answer 4

in context, something like, "The love of family and friends would help them to cope with their loss." ¡Muchas gracias para toda su ayudar! I really appreciate it.

significa "lidiar" con su pérdida. - hmartinez, Jan 28, 2010

Answer 5

How about arreglarselas -- "esto podría ayudarles a arreglarselas".

Expressions I have heard for "I can´t cope" are "ya no puedo más" and "no doy abasto".

Answer 6

Hola!

He leído tus comentarios sobre "to cope". Podría decir por ejemplo:

Nadal pudo sobrellevar con la pista rapida durante el US Open?

Gracias por adelantado.

Answer 7

Para mi entendimiento la palabra "cope" en este contexto significa "lidiar".

Answer 8

Hacer frente

I've looked for a better translation, but haven't found one. Also you could use the verb luchar. I translate for a psychologist, and this is the term we use. - CalvoViejo, Jan 27, 2010
