Spanish Word of the Day (Wednesday, February 25, 2009)
ocultar, verb
to hide, to conceal
Ocultar can refer to hiding things which are physical objects, in which
case it is rather literary.
Se arrojó sobre la cama, y ocultó el rostro entre las almohadas.
(She flung herself on the bed and hid her face in the pillows.)
But more often you use it to refer to hiding or concealing information,
truth, or feelings.
El ministro mintió y ocultó información esencial en su primera
rueda de prensa.
(The minister lied and concealed essential information in his first
press conference.)
Nos han ocultado la verdad.
(They’ve concealed the truth from us.)
