English term
to get stuck in to
Does this expression communicate the same idea as in this Spanish sentence? (This is for US English speakers)
Nuestra protagonista participa en todas las actividades acuáticas
Our protagonist gets stuck in to all the water activities
Thanks,
Carlos

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: "Get stuck in" es lenguaje coloquial, "involucrarse" no lo es, ni mucho menos, así que el registro no es el apropiado.

Carol Gullidge
: right answer, but question proposed incorrectly! This is not an EN>EN translation but a ES>EN one, and the Spanish term should have been posted!

: We only have one sentence of context, but "gets stuck in" looks like overtranslation.

: I agree with Darius on the translation and Carol on how the question should have been posed. But "participar" is not exactly a difficult term.

In fact, I see that the question has been reversed by somebody else! It was originally posted in the right direction, but using the target term instead of the source term
