Hello, everyone!

I was hoping to get some feedback from you all concerning how to translate the following sentence:

  • The 'student code' is the number assigned to each pupil.

In the SpanishDict dictionary entry under 'assigned', I have found the following options:

  • asignado
  • atribuido
  • destinado
  • señalado
  • diputado

I am unsure of which of the above words I should use in the Spanish translation of the aforementioned English sentence.

My guesses are:

  1. El 'código de estudiante' es el número destinado a cada alumno.
  2. El 'código estudantil' es el número asignado a cada alumno.
  3. El 'código de estudiante' es el número atribuido a cada alumno.

Please share your thoughts/corrections/input with me!

All responses are greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Alyssa

PS

Please do not tell me to look in the dictionary for an answer. I have already done so and have not found a satisfactory answer for the example I need to translate, hence why I am asking for help. =] Thanks again!

I agree with swampy and Linguee. The word, talking about a code assined to each student, should be "asignado".
