Frequently Asked Questions

Is 'cancelado' the same as 'pospuesto'?

No. 'Cancelado' means it is not happening at all. 'Pospuesto' means it has been moved to a later time (postponed).

Can I use 'cancelado' for a person who died?

No, that would be very confusing! Use 'fallecido' for people. 'Cancelado' is for events, plans, or the modern social 'cancel culture'.
