Usage Note

Introducción covers an introductory section of a text, a formal presentation of one person to another, and the act of introducing or bringing something into a system (introducción de datos = 'data entry'). The verb is introducir, but beware the false friend: to introduce people socially Spanish uses presentar, not introducir. Plural follows the regular -ión → -iones pattern.

Examples

"La introducción del libro es muy clara."

Natural Translation

The book's introduction is very clear.
