Frequently Asked Questions
Is 'entrega' a noun or a verb?
'Entrega' is most commonly used as a feminine noun meaning 'delivery' or 'dedication.' However, it is also a verb form: it is the 'he/she/it' form of the verb *entregar* (to deliver) in the present tense (e.g., 'Él entrega el correo' - He delivers the mail).
What is the difference between 'entrega' and 'dedicación'?
Both can mean 'dedication' or 'commitment.' However, 'entrega' is broader; it also means 'delivery' (physical act) and 'surrender' (giving up). If you only want to talk about hard work and devotion, 'dedicación' is often a more precise choice, but 'entrega' works well to express total passion.
