What is the meaning of "Suceder"?

  1. To exceed

  2. To suggest

  3. To happen

  4. To swallow

The correct answer is: To happen

The meaning of "suceder" in Spanish is "to happen" or "to occur." This verb is commonly used to describe events or incidents that take place. For instance, one might say, "¿Qué sucedió ayer?" which translates to "What happened yesterday?" This usage clearly aligns with the idea of something occurring or taking place in time. The other options, while verbs that exist within the Spanish language, do not match the meaning of "suceder." "To exceed," "to suggest," and "to swallow" have their own specific meanings and uses in Spanish that are distinct from the context of events occurring. Thus, recognizing "suceder" as meaning "to happen" helps clarify its role in conversation and writing when discussing events or changes.
