minus-squareExLisper@lemmy.curiana.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·5 天前Not really. “Aproverchar” means more like “I have this things that I would normally throw out but I will used for X instead”. You wouldn’t say “I had some left over chicken so I appreciated it to make corquetas”.
minus-squaresome_kind_of_guy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 天前Closer to “appropriate” (the verb, not the adjective) but still not quite, it’s too formal
minus-squareblack0ut@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up4·5 天前It’s not quite that either. The spanish word for “appropriate” is “apropiar”, and the meaning is the same. Aprovechar has a different meaning.
minus-squareThirdConsul@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 天前I second the person before you, that is literally appreciate (a thing)
