Communication Speech

Origin: From Latin eludere (to elude, escape).

Usage Note

Estudir is not a standard Spanish word; the intended verb is almost certainly eludir, meaning to evade or dodge a question, topic, or responsibility. Eludir takes a direct object: eludió la pregunta ('he evaded the question'). The noun is elusión; treat the headword form estudir as an error.

Examples

"Intentó estudir todas las preguntas difíciles."

Natural Translation

He tried to evade all the difficult questions.
