español term

incumplido

español al inglés Ciencias sociales General / Conversación / Saludos / Cartas
I have tried in vain, as have many friends who are multi-lingual native speakers of Spanish to render a single word or even concise phrase in English for this much encountered Spanish word. We all know the meaning but can't find an adequate concise English equivalent. I am a native speaker of English but am reasonably fluent in Spanish.

broken (promise) / breach (contract) / let down (somebody)

there are lots of terms that you could use to express the idea, but you need to give an example of what kind of context you are talking about

agree Sandra Cifuentes Dowling : Collins Dictionary agrees. We are only guessing without more context. It depends on the noun that follows.
