How do you say "yields" in Spanish?

Asked by Ajoiner (161points) May 20th, 2013

As in, “The recipe yields twelve pandebonos.” Or, “Yield: 12.”

I think you can use porciones, as in portions, but I’ll send the Q to Bob_ to see what other words might work. Maybe portion is more appropriate for cooking, while in baking another term is preferred? I’m not sure. Maybe hechar conjugated correctly or “serves” translated might work also if that is closer to what you are looking for. I don’t know if there is a more direct translation for yields. Maybe even the verb dar, to give? Again, I am not sure. I’ll be interested in the answer from a fully bilingual jelly.

“Rende” (3rd person singular of “rendir”)

Rende makes sense, I didn’t think of that.

Yes, “rendir”, except the third person singular present tense is “rinde” instead of “rende”: “rinde X porciones”.

Oops, right

Ajoiner's avatar

Ok… Awesome.. And no accents? Just change the e to i and drop ir and add e. May I ask what tense that would be? Out of curiosity?

Present tense. See here.
