denunciar

to report; to denounce

verb deh-noon-SYAHR Less Common

Usage Note

Denunciar carries a legal or formal weight: you denuncias a crime to the police (poner una denuncia), or denounce a public figure publicly. It is stronger than simply 'to report' in English — it implies accusation or formal complaint. The noun denuncia is the formal complaint or report filed. Spelling changes: denuncie (subjunctive).

Examples

"Ella denunció el robo a la policía."

Natural Translation

She reported the theft to the police.
