Question

¿Por favor, pueden explicarme qué significa "autosuperacíon"? (El diccionario no me dice nada)

El contexto: "A PRIMERA VISTA" (estupenda película completa de enorme leccíon de autosuperacíon)

Es una película de youtube. Pero, todavía no la he visto.

(Gracias por corregir mis errores)

......no la he "visto." In Spanish use the verb "ver" for watching TV or a movie. - --Mariana--, Oct 2, 2012

Can I just move in with you? I really need someone to keep me on my toes. My mom spent most of my young life correcting my usage of English. :) - island_fever, Oct 2, 2012

Answer 1

Good question!

I took off the "auto" and looked up the word "superación" in the R A E (always go to this dictionary if you don't find it in the SD dictionary). The definition is "Acción y efecto de superar".

So, we go through the steps--

• The placement of "auto" in front of a Spanish word it generally means "self."

• "Superar" means to improve, overcome, rise above.

• Superación" means the results of overcoming, rising above, etc.

• "Autosuperación" = "Self-improvement."

Well, I started doing that and got lost on the "self" when I looked up that word. I was thinking it might be "mismosuperación" which just didn't satisfy me. - island_fever, Oct 2, 2012

It's great that you keep looking and don't give up! - --Mariana--, Oct 2, 2012
