to resolve

Usage Note

Resolver is an irregular verb (like volver): the stem changes o→ue in the present tense (resuelvo, resuelves…) and its past participle is irregular: resuelto. It pairs naturally with problema — resolver un problema is the standard phrase. The reflexive resolverse means 'to be resolved' or 'to sort itself out.'

Examples

"Hay que resolver el problema cuanto antes."

Natural Translation

We need to solve the problem as soon as possible.

Literal Translation

There-is-that to-resolve the problem as-much before
