What is the Spanish translation for "to fear"?

  1. Traer

  2. Temer

  3. Soñar

  4. Superar

The correct answer is: Temer

The correct translation for "to fear" in Spanish is "temer." This verb specifically conveys the idea of having apprehension or fear about something, aligning perfectly with the English term. In addition to "temer," there are other related expressions in Spanish that convey fear, such as "tener miedo," but "temer" is the direct and most common translation. The other options do not relate to the concept of fear. "Traer" means "to bring," which has a completely different meaning. "Soñar" translates to "to dream," which is about dreaming during sleep or aspirations, and "superar" means "to overcome," relating to surpassing challenges or difficulties. Each of these verbs serves its own unique purpose in the Spanish language, but none correspond to the idea of fearing something.
