Translate "run a household"

Question

Here is the sentence I need to translate: "Girls take a course in school called home economics to learn how to run a household." Obviously the word "run" means manage, but I am not sure what verb to use - correr, manejar, llevar or another one. Please answer only if you know for sure. Thanks

Answer 1

You could use llevar or manejar when talking about running a home/household:

Manejar el hogar = manage the household/family

manage: Context 2

B < houshold > llevar,

Source: Spanish Oxford Dictionary (3rd Edition)

Correction: Manejar as Julain said would be better/more appropriate than administrar so I have deleted administrar even though it was recommended in the dictionary

I hope that this helps You

Feliz, if it's average size family I would use "Manejar el hogar." "Administrar" would indicate something big, such as a business :-) - 005faa61, Aug 11, 2010
