facilitar
verb: to make easier
-
Facilitar has an English equivalent which looks the same — to facilitate —but which often sounds more formal and longwinded than the Spanish. Facilitar comes from fácil, easy, and often the best translation is to make ... easier. Remember that unlike English, the stress is often on the second letter i, as shown by a capital letter in the examples below.
