vence

Question

Is this from a verb? If so, what is the verb? I have some forms with a due date. On my instructions it says "vence 15 de octubre"

Thanks

Calvo

Answer 1

"Fecha de caducidad" is the most common one in Spain too.

Answer 2

to say this in Mexico

Fecha de caducidad

caducidad from verb caducar

Answer 3

it is from the verb Vencer

Answer 4

In packages, newspapers and other printed media where space matters is common to see how they omit articles and prepositions to make words fit. In proper Spanish you must write

fecha de vencimiento.

Answer 5

I just saw this on a package of chorizo

fecha vencimiento = expiration date

Answer 6

Gracias, Lazarus.

I wondered if it was from vencer, but that didn't seem like the right word. With your explanation it makes perfect sense.

Answer 7

The verb is "vencer", and in these contexts it could be translated as "to expire", "to fall due", "to be due" (otherwise it means "to overcome", "to win",...)

The correct sentence is "Vence el 15 de octubre".
