What do you call a person who fails = your wife , she could have made a far better

choice . But seriously I do not like to look at people and say " they failed "

but rather to think and say "maybe they failed at doing that " . It is the act of

trying to do something which may have failed , but not the person trying to do it.

Well said, mate. Otherwise this person would be a "failer" : -) - 005faa61, Nov 8, 2011

Here are a few other options: ohh



fracasado, perdedor, fracaso, nulidad, persona fracasada, zoquete (like a numbskull), perdidoso, persona fácilmente derrotada, inepto...


All should convey basically what you are asking, but persona fácilmente derrotada - though a mouthful - is my personal favorite! raspberry

There may be a word, buy why a person you use it? When I travel, I rarely hear mexicanos talk trash. Manners. That's the biggest lesson I learned in my travels last year.
