"La mujer prueba el pan."

Translation: The woman tastes the bread.

[percyflage]

I put "The woman is proving bread". We have made our own bread many times & to quote Wikipedia "Proofing (also called proving), as the term is used by professional bakers, is the final dough-rise step before baking". I have no idea if this usage is valid in Spanish, it's just what popped into my head....mmm! Fresh bread, I must be hungry.

[Toonooo]

In Dutch, to taste is 'proeven', so that's where your English word is from :)

[rocko2012]

"Prueba" means to test and proofing bread can be a test. But if it used in Spanish that way I have no idea.

[Talca]

IMHO, prueba is most commonly = to taste, to try. Como: ¡Prueba nuestros deliciosos postres! (Try our delicious desserts!)

Los Períodos de descanso de fermentación no se nombran a menudo explícitamente, y normalmente aparecen en las recetas como "dejar que la masa suba."

What is the difference between a woman and a lady in Spanish?

[MikeMinogue]

I have found that when one wants to differenciate between woman and lady, mujer is given for woman, Senjora for Lady. Looks like a snob thing.

[llieurance]

Why is it not "...tries the bread"? Someone could see if they like the bread. Or does probar automatically mean to taste with food?

[neiht20]

It can be "tries". "Probar" can mean either "to try"(as in tasting) or "to test"(as in a quiz).

[TobyBartels]

I'd report that.

[midnight27]

and is promptly kicked out of the bakery.

[lupemercedes]

I translated it to 'is tasting the bread' and was corrected (lost a heart over it) to 'tastes' which to me is the same thing. So why was I penalized?

[neiht20]

Probably because "is tasting" would be "está probando".

[TobyBartels]

It's an oversight, report it.

[harlemmatador]

Checks the bread should also be allowed. That is how I always understood it when my mother cooked

[NC3129]

In English usage, tasting food is the same as testing it (for seasoning, consistency, etc.).

[MikeMinogue]

Tasting is not the same as testing.

[colen35]

I used "checks the bread" and was graded wrong.

[vivalavidaiplay]

This is is spanish from spain or mexico not all words are the same

[Kafi]

I did not use the article and was wrong. Please explain.

[jfGor]

All I know is that "el pan" means 'the bread'; the article was in the sentence.

[MonsieurLove]

Is it weird that I accidentally saw "La mujer prueba el pen" at first glance?

[vivalavidaiplay]

Ha ha

[JosefBakhi]

What does "Prueba" mean

[neiht20]

It comes from the verb "probar" which means "to taste/try/test". http://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=probar

[Sonikaj1]

What's the difference between woman and Lady????

[jfGor]

Spanish Dictionary translated 'lady' as La Dama, señora : http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/lady I have also heard doña.

[Gitika92]

Is there a difference between saben and prueba? In earlier statement taste was one of the option for saben.

[SaltC22]

I put tastes bread and it said it was wrong its pretty much the same as the bread

[mithra234052]

In Farsi also we use" prov " but only for trying on clothes

[kayatsabari]

I put.. the woman tries bread. I think it should accept my answer

[rr2CnD]

The woman teste thebread

[aidan414738]

I put tries amd it was wrong

[GiancarloA169364]

I put the lady tastes the bread

[alexis.alienn.1]

Omg. I said the woman tastes like bread
