Significados de Character en español

La palabra 'character' se utiliza en inglés cotidiano con varios significados y en diversos contextos. Se refiere, en primer lugar, a las características o rasgos que definen a una persona o a una figura en una historia. Por ejemplo, en el contexto literario, uno puede decir: "The main character in the book is very complex" (El personaje principal del libro es muy complejo). Aquí, 'character' se refiere a un individuo ficticio.

En un contexto más amplio, 'character' también puede referirse a la moralidad o la ética de una persona. Por ejemplo: "He is a man of good character" (Es un hombre de buen carácter), lo que implica que tiene cualidades morales positivas.

El término se utiliza en situaciones tanto formales como informales. En la conversación cotidiana, se puede escuchar frases como "She has a strong character" (Ella tiene un carácter fuerte), lo que sugiere que la persona es resiliente o tiene una personalidad firme.

Frases comunes que incluyen 'character' son:

  • "A person of character" (Una persona de carácter) - se refiere a alguien con integridad.
  • "To build character" (Desarrollar carácter) - implica crecer o mejorar en términos de valores y ética.
  • "Character flaws" (Defectos de carácter) - se refiere a debilidades o aspectos negativos de la personalidad.

Errores comunes incluyen el uso incorrecto de 'character' para referirse a la personalidad en un sentido amplio, cuando en realidad se refiere más a rasgos específicos o a la moralidad. Es importante no confundir 'character' con 'personality', que se refiere a la combinación de características emocionales y comportamentales de una persona.

Palabras relacionadas incluyen sinónimos como 'personality' (personalidad) y 'nature' (naturaleza). Antónimos pueden ser 'flaw' (defecto) o 'vice' (vicio), que reflejan aspectos negativos.

En cuanto a la pronunciación, 'character' se pronuncia /ˈkær.ɪk.tər/ en inglés británico y /ˈker.ɪk.tɚ/ en inglés americano, con énfasis en la primera sílaba.

En términos de gramática, 'character' es un sustantivo contable, lo que significa que puede ser pluralizado como 'characters' (personajes o caracteres). Su etimología proviene del griego 'charaktēr', que significa "marca" o "grabado", lo que refleja la idea de rasgos distintivos.
