Questions & Answers about La capacitación aumenta la capacidad y el rendimiento.
What is the difference between capacitación and capacidad? They look very similar.
Yes, they are related, but they mean different things:
- capacitación = training, instruction, or skill development
- capacidad = capacity, ability, or capability
So in this sentence:
- La capacitación = the training
- la capacidad = the capacity/ability
This is a very common point of confusion for English speakers because both words come from the same root idea.
Why does the sentence start with La capacitación instead of just Capacitación?
Spanish often uses the definite article more than English does.
So La capacitación literally looks like The training, but in many contexts it can still be translated naturally as just Training.
Spanish commonly uses articles with general concepts, abstract nouns, and subjects of sentences:
- La educación es importante.
- La práctica ayuda.
- La capacitación aumenta...
In English, we often drop the in these kinds of general statements, but Spanish often keeps it.
Why is it aumenta and not aumentan?
