Questions & Answers about La recaudación del patrocinador viene creciendo desde enero.
Why is it del patrocinador and not de el patrocinador?
Because de + el contracts to del in Spanish.
- de el patrocinador → del patrocinador
- This is a standard contraction and is required in normal Spanish.
The only common exception is when El is part of a proper name, such as de El Escorial.
So here, la recaudación del patrocinador means the sponsor’s revenue/collections/fundraising or literally the collection of the sponsor.
What exactly does recaudación mean here?
Recaudación usually refers to the amount collected, takings, revenue, or funds raised, depending on context.
Possible translations in different contexts:
- for ticket sales or money earned: takings / revenue
- for a fundraising context: fundraising / funds raised
- for taxes or official money collection: tax revenue / collection
So in this sentence, the best English meaning depends on context, but it generally refers to money being brought in.
What does viene creciendo mean, and why not just crece or está creciendo?
