demostración

demonstration

noun deh-mohs-trah-SYOHN Rare

Origin: From Latin demonstratio (pointing out, showing).

Also means

proof; show

Usage Note

Demostración covers both a public demonstration or protest (una demostración callejera) and the act of proving or showing something (una demostración matemática, una demostración de fuerza). In commercial contexts it also means a product demo. It should not be confused with manifestación, which in Spain specifically refers to a street protest march — though the two overlap in Latin America.

Examples

"Hicieron una demostración del nuevo producto."

Natural Translation

They gave a demonstration of the new product.
