What is the English translation of "Reir (i)"?

To cry
To smile
To laugh
To shout

The correct answer is: To laugh

The correct translation of "Reir (i)" is "to laugh." This verb specifically refers to the action of expressing amusement or joy, typically indicated by the sound of laughter. In Spanish, "reir" derives from Latin, and it directly correlates with the English concept of laughing, which evokes an emotional response often associated with happiness or mirth. The other options do not convey this meaning; for example, "to cry" refers to expressing sorrow, "to smile" is a related but different expression of amusement without vocalization, and "to shout" indicates a vocal expression that can be loud or aggressive. Thus, recognizing the context and nuances of these verbs helps in accurately translating "reir."
