B2 Collocation フォーマル

Cumplir con las expectativas.

To meet expectations.

意味

To satisfy the hopes or requirements of others.

🌍

文化的背景

In Spain, 'cumplir' is also used for birthdays ('cumplir años'). This links the idea of 'completing' a year with 'completing' a duty. In Mexico, you might hear 'quedar bien' as an informal way to say you met expectations and made a good impression. Argentines often use 'estar a la altura' in political and sports contexts to discuss if someone is capable enough. In Colombia, 'llenar las expectativas' is very common and used interchangeably with 'cumplir con'.

🎯

The 'Con' Rule

If you forget the 'con', you sound like a beginner. If you include it, you instantly sound like a B2 speaker.

⚠️

Don't use 'Meet'

Never say 'conocer expectativas' or 'encontrar expectativas'. It's a dead giveaway that you are translating from English.

Modesty

In some Spanish-speaking cultures, saying 'He cumplido con las expectativas' might sound a bit arrogant. Use 'Espero haber cumplido...' (I hope I have met...) to sound more humble.

In some regions and in very informal speech, people do it. However, for exams (DELE/SIELE) and professional writing, you MUST use 'con'.

'Satisfacer' is slightly more formal and emphasizes the feeling of the person who had the expectations. 'Cumplir' emphasizes the action of the person doing the work.

No. 'Esperanza' is 'hope' (emotional). 'Expectativa' is 'expectation' (a standard or logical anticipation).

You can say 'no cumplir con las expectativas' or 'quedarse corto'.

95% of the time, yes. We usually have more than one expectation for a person or product.

For laws, we say 'cumplir la ley' or 'cumplir con la ley'. 'Expectativas' is for quality and hopes, not legal rules.

Extremely common in both Spain and Latin America.

Se dice 'gestionar las expectativas'.

It means to do better than what was expected (to exceed expectations).
