What is stroke in spanish?
I have a friend who's a medical professional in Spain, and I'm trying to understand some of the health terms she uses. How do they say 'stroke' in Spanish? Just curious for general knowledge.

Oh, when I first saw this question, I panicked a little thinking it was about actual medical stroke, haha! But in Spanish, 'stroke' (meaning a physical stroke or hit, not the medical condition) can be 'golpe' or 'carrera' for a race. For the medical term, it's 'accidente cerebrovascular' or 'derrame cerebral'.

I actually learned this recently while traveling! The medical term for stroke in Spanish is 'accidente cerebrovascular'. Sometimes you'll also hear 'derrame cerebral'. Hope that helps you out!

Be careful with translations, especially medical terms. While 'accidente cerebrovascular' is the correct medical term, please ensure you use accurate sources if it's for something serious. Always confirm with a native speaker or a medical dictionary, don't just rely on general translation.
