Lidiar is excellent, I think. - annierats, Dec 19, 2012
I hear it used on TV alot for dealing with .... - gringojrf, Dec 19, 2012
Sobrellevar could fit better. "tratar con" doesn't work either. - cogumela, Dec 19, 2012
I'm sorry to disagree, but lidiar doesn't fit at all in this register, it's very colloquial and not used this way. - cogumela, Dec 19, 2012
Cogu, what do you mean by register? - francobollo, Dec 20, 2012
Cogu, I just ran both "tratar and lidiar" con la pérdida through the translators and both gave me dealing or coping with the loss. - gringojrf, Dec 20, 2012
But when I look at the definition of tratar it seems that tratar de fits better. - gringojrf, Dec 20, 2012
Thsnk you Cogu, this just shows the benefit of a native! - annierats, Dec 20, 2012
Franco, for register I meant to say the degree of formality. Normally you wouldn't use "lidiar" for someone's loss. - cogumela, Dec 20, 2012
One can "lidiar" with the traffic in the mornings, with a noisy neighbour, with a naughty child, but not with a loss! It sounds very inappropriate! - cogumela, Dec 20, 2012
Register is not appropriate here. You can say case or instance. - francobollo, Dec 21, 2012
