Ironically, ideal is the same in English as it is in Spanish. And German for that matter. And Turkish. Seems like the ideal word for the concept.

- layer8 3y agoThe space of meaning and the usage patterns of words are almost never 100% the same between languages. This can have the effect of a choice of word being somewhat less appropriate in one language than the other, even when the words nominally mean the same thing. In addition, there may be Spanish words other than “ideal” that nevertheless can be translated as “ideal” in English for one of their meanings, but that translation wasn’t the best in this particular case. Of course I don’t know if that’s what happened here, but it’s a possibility.
