traslada

Traslada is a verb form in Spanish that comes from trasladar. It is the third-person singular present indicative (él/ella/Ud. traslada) and also the affirmative tú command (tú traslada). The word means to move something from one place to another, to relocate, or to transfer something from one context to another. It can be used in physical, administrative, or metaphorical senses, such as moving objects, relocating a workplace, or shifting responsibilities or ideas.

In everyday usage, traslade typically appears in phrases like: "El alcalde traslada la inauguración" or "La empresa traslada su sede a Madrid," indicating a change of location. It can also refer to transferring people, such as “trasladar a un paciente a otra sala.” Metaphorically, it may denote transferring duties, rights, or information, as in "trasladar la responsabilidad" or "trasladar un mensaje." In technical contexts, especially in computing or data handling, the more common verb for transfer is often transferir, but traslada may still be used to mean moving data or resources within a system.

Related terms include traslado (the noun for the act of moving or transferring) and traslación (a geometric translation, a type of transformation in mathematics). The root is Latin trans-ferre (to bear across), reflecting the core sense of moving or conveying from one place to another. Conjugation includes: yo traslado, tú trasladas, él traslada, nosotros trasladamos, vosotros trasladáis, ellos trasladan; and the imperative forms: traslada (tú), traslade (usted), trasladad (vosotros), trasladen (ustedes).
