WHAT DOES PISTA MEAN IN SPANISH?

Track

Pista

A clue is a little help that is lent to someone, often when asked about something that is not able to respond. This little help can never be the answer, but it must be something that can be related in some way so that the person remembers or guesses the answer. It is usually given as a courtesy, so that the person can answer for itself, although the merit is not the same. The clues may be more or less obvious, which may in some cases entangle even more that person. The clues are commonly given in riddles, and in some quizzes. They are usually given in contests where the competition between the players is not direct, or hardly affects the development of the contest. An example of this is the Pasapalabra contest, where only tracks are given in the tests in which they add seconds, but never in the final test. Also used are the tracks in video games, mostly questions. But also other types of games in which the player is required to take an action. When the player is unable to continue, he may request a clue.

Una pista es una pequeña ayuda que se le presta a alguien, frecuentemente cuando se le pregunta algo sobre lo que no es capaz de responder. Esta pequeña ayuda nunca puede ser la respuesta, sino que debe ser algo que se pueda relacionar de alguna manera para que la persona recuerde o adivine la respuesta. Se suele otorgar a modo de cortesía, para que la persona pueda responder por sí misma, aunque el mérito no es el mismo. Las pistas pueden ser más o menos obvias, que pueden en algunos casos enredar aún más a esa persona. Las pista son comúnmente dadas en adivinanzas, y en algunos concursos de preguntas. Se suelen entregar en concursos en los que la competencia entre los jugadores no es directa, o apenas afecta al desarrollo del concurso. Un ejemplo de ello es el concurso Pasapalabra, donde solo se entregan pistas en las pruebas en las que se suman segundos, pero nunca en la prueba final. También se usan las pistas en los videojuegos, mayoritariamente los de preguntas. Pero también otro tipo de juegos en los que se requiere que el jugador realice una acción. Cuando el jugador no es capaz de continuar, puede solicitar una pista.
