Tomar una decisión

To make a decision

معنی

The act of choosing a course of action.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

In Spain, people might be more direct and use the verb 'decidir' in casual settings, whereas 'tomar una decisión' is saved for slightly more significant choices. Politeness is key. You might hear 'Permítame tomar una decisión' (Allow me to make a decision) to sound more respectful in shops or formal settings. The use of 'tomar' is very standard, but in business, Argentines might use 'definir' (to define/finalize) as a synonym for making a final decision.

⚠️

The 'Hacer' Trap

English speakers say 'make', but Spanish speakers say 'take'. If you say 'hacer una decisión', people will understand you, but you will sound like a beginner.

🎯

Use 'Sobre'

To sound more natural, always use 'sobre' to link the decision to the topic. 'Una decisión sobre mi trabajo'.
