Questions & Answers about El testador identifica al heredero.
What does testador mean, and is it a common everyday word?
Testador means testator: the person who makes a will.
It is a legal word, not an everyday one. In normal conversation, many speakers would need legal context to use it naturally. In a legal document, though, it is perfectly appropriate.
The feminine form is testadora.
What does heredero mean exactly?
Heredero means heir: the person who inherits from someone, usually after that person dies.
It is also a legal/family-related word. The feminine form is heredera.
So:
- el heredero = the male heir
- la heredera = the female heir
Why is it al heredero and not just el heredero?
Because Spanish uses the personal a before a specific human direct object.
In this sentence, the heir is the direct object, and it is a person, so Spanish adds a:
Also, a + el contracts to al:
- a + el = al
So:
- a el heredero → al heredero
What is the personal a?
