Answer 1

Good answers regarding the verb capacitar, but I'd like to add that blostein's example, Somos capaces, is using the plural of the adjective capaz, meaning capable or competent. We women are competent, too.

Answer 2

Capacitar

verbo transitivo

a) (formar) to prepare,

Esa experiencia me capacitó para enfrentarme con el mundo - That experience prepared me to go out into the world

b) (profesionalmente) capacitar a alguien PARA algo to qualify somebody FOR something; capacitar a alguien PARA + INF to qualify o entitle somebody to + INF

c) capacitarse v proneuter (formarse) to train; (obtener un título) to qualify, become qualified

Answer 3

I see it as being a literal translation of to capacitate.

To make capable.

To enable.

To empower.
