Spanish Word of the Day (Saturday, February 28, 2009)
padecer, verb
to suffer from
If someone has an ongoing illness or condition, you talk about it using
the verb padecer. Remember that you conjugate padecer like conocer, and
that unlike English suffer, you don’t need to put a preposition after
it.
Padezco la enfermedad de colon irritado.
(I suffer from irritable bowel syndrome.)
Padece cancer.
(He’s suffering from cancer.)
