argumentar در ۳۰ ثانیه
- A formal verb meaning to provide logical reasons or evidence to support a specific claim or viewpoint.
- Used primarily in academic, legal, and professional contexts to build a persuasive case or explanation.
- Often confused with 'discutir', but 'argumentar' focuses on logic rather than emotional conflict or fighting.
- Commonly used with 'que' to introduce a statement or 'a favor de/en contra de' to show a stance.
The Spanish verb argumentar is a cornerstone of intellectual discourse, critical thinking, and formal communication. At its core, it means to provide a set of reasons, evidence, or logical steps to support a specific conclusion, theory, or course of action. Unlike the English word 'argue' in its most common colloquial sense—which often implies a heated emotional conflict or a 'fight'—the Spanish argumentar is almost exclusively constructive and cognitive. It is the act of building a case. When you argumentas, you are not necessarily trying to 'win' a fight; you are trying to demonstrate the validity of a point through structural reasoning. This distinction is vital for English speakers who might mistakenly use argumentar to describe a shouting match between neighbors. In such a case, the correct verb would be discutir or pelear.
- Academic Context
- In universities and schools, students are taught to argumentar their theses. This involves citing sources, analyzing data, and connecting dots logically. It is the hallmark of a well-written essay or a successful oral defense.
Es fundamental que el alumno sepa argumentar sus respuestas durante el examen final para demostrar comprensión profunda.
- Legal and Judicial Use
- Lawyers spend their entire careers argumentando. In a courtroom, every claim must be backed by law or precedent. The 'argumentación jurídica' is a specific field of study focused on the logic of law.
El fiscal procedió a argumentar que las pruebas de ADN eran irrefutables.
In everyday life, argumentar appears when decisions need to be justified. If you want a raise at work, you must argumentar why your performance deserves it. If you want to convince your partner to move to a new city, you argumentas the benefits of the new location. It is a tool of persuasion that relies on the intellect rather than the ego. The word carries a certain weight and respect; calling someone's points 'bien argumentados' (well-argued) is a high compliment in professional and intellectual circles in the Spanish-speaking world. It suggests clarity, sequence, and evidence.
No puedes simplemente decir que no te gusta la película; tienes que argumentar tu crítica.
- Political Discourse
- Politicians are often criticized for failing to argumentar their policies properly, instead relying on slogans. A 'debate argumentado' is one where facts take precedence over insults.
Los senadores pasaron horas tratando de argumentar los beneficios de la nueva reforma fiscal.
Para convencer al jefe, debemos argumentar basándonos en las estadísticas de ventas del último trimestre.
Using argumentar correctly requires understanding its common syntactic patterns. As a transitive verb, it frequently takes a direct object (the thing being argued) or is followed by a prepositional phrase that clarifies the stance being taken. The most common structure is argumentar que... (to argue that...), which introduces a subordinate clause containing the main point. This is the standard way to report someone's reasoning or to present your own. For example, 'Ella argumentó que la tecnología es esencial' (She argued that technology is essential). Notice how the verb sets the stage for a logical claim.
- Argumentar a favor de
- This phrase is used when you are supporting a cause or an idea. It is the equivalent of 'to argue in favor of' or 'to advocate for' using logic. It is common in debates and opinion pieces.
Muchos científicos suelen argumentar a favor de una reducción inmediata en las emisiones de carbono.
- Argumentar en contra de
- This is the logical opposite, used to oppose an idea. It translates to 'to argue against'. It implies that the speaker is providing reasons why something is wrong, harmful, or incorrect.
Es difícil argumentar en contra de los hechos presentados en el informe forense.
Another important usage is argumentar algo (to argue something). Here, 'algo' is usually a noun representing the reason or the point. For instance, 'Él argumentó motivos personales para su renuncia' (He cited/argued personal reasons for his resignation). In this context, it functions similarly to 'alegar' or 'exponer'. It is also common to see the verb in the passive voice or with 'se' in impersonal constructions, such as 'Se argumenta que...' (It is argued that...). This is extremely common in academic writing to maintain an objective tone. It distances the claim from a specific person and focuses on the reasoning itself.
En el ensayo, se intenta argumentar la importancia de la educación bilingüe en la infancia.
- Argumentar con solidez
- Adverbs and prepositional phrases often accompany the verb to describe the quality of the reasoning. 'Con solidez' (solidly) or 'con lógica' (logically) are frequent partners.
Si quieres ganar el concurso de debate, debes aprender a argumentar con solidez y calma.
El experto logró argumentar su teoría ante un panel de críticos muy escépticos.
While argumentar might sound like a word reserved for dusty libraries, it is surprisingly prevalent in modern media and public life. You will hear it most frequently in the news, particularly during segments covering parliamentary debates or legal proceedings. News anchors often use it to summarize the positions of different political parties. For example, 'La oposición argumenta que el presupuesto es insuficiente' (The opposition argues that the budget is insufficient). This usage is neutral and objective, focusing on the content of the political message rather than the emotion of the delivery.
- Talk Shows and Podcasts
- In intellectual talk shows (tertulias) or educational podcasts, moderators often ask guests to argumentar their viewpoints. It serves as an invitation to move beyond simple 'yes' or 'no' answers and provide a deeper explanation.
En el podcast de hoy, invitamos a dos economistas para que puedan argumentar sus visiones sobre la inflación.
- Documentaries and Educational Content
- Narrators in documentaries use argumentar when explaining scientific theories or historical interpretations. It signals to the viewer that what follows is a reasoned conclusion based on evidence.
El documental busca argumentar por qué la civilización maya colapsó tan repentinamente.
In a professional setting, such as a business meeting or a performance review, argumentar is the go-to word for explaining a strategy. A manager might say, 'Necesito que argumentes por qué deberíamos invertir en este mercado' (I need you to argue why we should invest in this market). Here, it implies a need for a data-driven, logical presentation. It’s also common in legal dramas on TV. When a character says '¡Eso no es lo que argumentamos!' (That's not what we argued!), they are referring to their legal strategy or their specific line of reasoning in court. It’s a word that denotes serious, intentional communication.
Durante la reunión, el arquitecto tuvo que argumentar el uso de materiales sostenibles a pesar de su alto costo.
- Literature and Philosophy
- In philosophical texts, argumentar is the primary action. Philosophers don't just state truths; they argumentan to reach them. You will see this word in every classic Spanish philosophical work.
Ortega y Gasset solía argumentar que el hombre es él y su circunstancia.
No es suficiente con gritar; en este foro se viene a argumentar con datos reales.
The single most frequent mistake English speakers make with argumentar is treating it as a direct translation for 'to argue' in the sense of 'to fight' or 'to bicker'. In English, if you say 'My parents are arguing in the kitchen', you likely mean they are angry and shouting. If you translate this as 'Mis padres están argumentando en la cocina', a Spanish speaker will imagine them having a very calm, structured, and logical debate about philosophy or household finances using evidence and premises. To describe a fight, use discutir (which is a 'false friend' because it doesn't just mean 'to discuss') or pelearse.
- Confusing with 'Discutir'
- While 'discutir' can mean 'to discuss', it very often means 'to argue/fight'. 'Argumentar' is strictly about the logic. You can 'argumentar' within a 'discusión', but they are not the same thing.
Incorrect: Argumentaron por quién iba a lavar los platos. (They argued about who would wash the dishes - too formal/logical).
Correct: Discutieron por quién iba a lavar los platos.
- Overusing it in Informal Settings
- Using 'argumentar' when you just want to say 'to say' or 'to explain' can make you sound overly academic or robotic. If you are just telling a friend why you were late, use 'explicar'. Save 'argumentar' for when you are actually presenting a formal reason.
Me gustaría argumentar mi postura sobre el cambio climático (Correct: Formal/Intellectual context).
Another mistake involves the word 'argument'. In Spanish, an 'argument' in the sense of a logical point is an argumento. However, an 'argument' in the sense of a plot of a movie or book is also argumento. Learners sometimes get confused and think argumentar means 'to summarize a plot'. It does not. To summarize a plot, use resumir el argumento or contar la trama. Using the verb argumentar always implies the act of reasoning. Finally, be careful with the spelling; it is often misspelled as 'argumentear' by learners who are over-applying the '-ear' suffix common in other Spanish verbs. It is a simple '-ar' verb: argumentar.
El abogado no supo argumentar la inocencia de su cliente y perdió el caso.
- Mistaking 'Argumentar' for 'Argüir'
- While 'argüir' is a synonym, it is much more formal and archaic. Using 'argüir' in a standard B1 or B2 conversation might sound out of place. Stick to 'argumentar' for most modern contexts.
Es importante argumentar cada punto con ejemplos claros y concisos.
No intentes argumentar sin tener toda la información necesaria.
To truly master argumentar, you should know its neighbors in the semantic field of 'explaining and reasoning'. Depending on the nuance you want to convey, other verbs might be more appropriate. For example, if you are simply giving a reason to excuse yourself, justificar is often better. If you are laying out a series of facts without necessarily trying to prove a point, exponer or explicar are the standard choices. Understanding these differences allows for more precise communication.
- Argumentar vs. Justificar
- 'Argumentar' is about the logical process. 'Justificar' is about providing a 'just' cause or excuse for an action. You 'argumentas' a theory, but you 'justificas' your absence from work.
Él intentó justificar su tardanza, pero sus razones no eran convincentes.
- Argumentar vs. Fundamentar
- 'Fundamentar' is even more formal. It means to base something on a solid foundation (fundamento). It's often used when talking about legal or scientific bases. 'Argumentar' is the act of speaking/writing the reasons; 'fundamentar' is providing the basis for them.
Es necesario fundamentar la acusación con pruebas físicas reales.
In a debate, you might also use sostener (to maintain/hold) or defender (to defend). These verbs focus on the stance rather than the process of reasoning. 'Ella sostiene que...' means 'She maintains that...'. Meanwhile, debicar or disputar are more about the interaction between two opposing sides. If you find yourself repeating argumentar too much in an essay, try razonar or elucidar (to elucidate/make clear). Each of these adds a slightly different flavor to your writing, making it sound more sophisticated and varied.
El autor busca razonar sobre la naturaleza de la libertad humana.
- Argumentar vs. Discutir
- As mentioned, 'discutir' is often emotional. 'Argumentar' is intellectual. You can have a 'discusión argumentada' (a reasoned discussion), which is the ideal form of debate.
En lugar de gritar, deberíamos argumentar nuestras diferencias con respeto.
Su capacidad para argumentar bajo presión es lo que lo hace un gran líder.

نکته جالب
The root 'argu-' in Latin actually comes from a Proto-Indo-European word meaning 'to shine' or 'to be bright'. So, when you 'argumentar', you are literally 'shining a light' on the truth.

سوالات متداول
10 سوالTechnically, yes, if you are providing logical reasons for being angry. However, usually, if you are fighting, you would say 'estamos discutiendo' or 'nos estamos peleando'. Using 'argumentar' makes it sound like you are in a formal debate even while angry.
An 'argumento' is a single reason or a piece of evidence. 'Argumentación' is the whole process or the set of arguments used to support a point. For example: 'Tu primer argumento es bueno, pero la argumentación general es débil'.
Yes, in legal contexts, they are almost identical. A lawyer 'argumenta un caso' (argues a case) just like in English. It is a formal, structured presentation of facts and laws.
You say 'ensayo argumentativo'. This is a very common requirement in Spanish high schools and universities, where students must take a stance and support it with logic.
No. The plot is 'el argumento' (noun), but you don't 'argumentar' a plot. You 'resumes el argumento' or 'cuentas la trama'. The verb 'argumentar' is only for logical reasoning.
The most common is 'que' (to introduce a clause). For stances, 'a favor de' and 'en contra de' are the standard prepositions.
Yes, 'argumentar' is a completely regular -ar verb. It follows the same conjugation patterns as 'hablar' or 'cantar' in all tenses.
Absolutely. It is the standard verb used to describe how scientists support their hypotheses with data and logical deductions.
A 'contraargumento' is a counter-argument. It is a reason or evidence provided to refute or oppose a previous argument. The verb is 'contraargumentar'.
Usually, yes. The goal of 'argumentar' is typically persuasion or the demonstration of truth. If you are just giving information without a persuasive goal, you are likely just 'explicando'.

Summary
The verb 'argumentar' is about the 'logic' of a point. Use it when you want to show you have thought deeply and have evidence for your opinion. Example: 'No solo opino, puedo argumentar mi postura' (I don't just have an opinion, I can argue my position).
- A formal verb meaning to provide logical reasons or evidence to support a specific claim or viewpoint.
- Used primarily in academic, legal, and professional contexts to build a persuasive case or explanation.
- Often confused with 'discutir', but 'argumentar' focuses on logic rather than emotional conflict or fighting.
- Commonly used with 'que' to introduce a statement or 'a favor de/en contra de' to show a stance.
Use 'que' for clarity
Always remember to use 'que' after 'argumentar' when you are about to state your main point. It functions as a bridge to your logical claim.
Learn the family
If you know 'argumentar', you already know 'argumento' and 'argumentativo'. Using the whole word family makes your Spanish sound more natural and rich.
Courtroom vs. Kitchen
Use 'argumentar' in the courtroom (formal settings) and 'discutir' in the kitchen (informal settings) to avoid sounding like a textbook.
The power of 'Se'
In essays, using 'Se argumenta que...' makes your writing sound objective and academic, which is highly valued in Spanish educational systems.
