Usage Note

Enterrar is a stem-changing verb (e→ie): entierro, entierras, entierra but enterramos, enterráis. Do not confuse it with enterar (to inform), which sounds similar. The noun is entierro (burial, funeral). The idiom enterrar el hacha de guerra (to bury the hatchet) mirrors the English equivalent.

Examples

"Enterraron al soldado con todos los honores."

Natural Translation

They buried the soldier with full honors.
