Portuguese to Spanish translations [Non-PRO]
Science - Computers (general) / networks and computer
Portuguese term or phrase: el mundo / él
In this paragraph "las formas de entender el mundo y las cosas que existen en él"

Is it correct to use the pronoun "él" to refer to the word "mundo"?

I'm thinking it's not correct given that the pronoun "él" means he!

thank you

o mundo / ele - the world / it
Explanation:
Yes, "él" despite being the translation for He, it is also an anaphoric reference here and thus can be translated as "it".

agree  O G V: pronombre que se refiere al mundo en este caso. Se acentúa para diferenciarlo del artículo.

agree  Octavio B. Junior: Sim, está retomando o substantivo anteriormente mencionado (mundo). Em português podemos deixar como "nele", que, se analisarmos, nada mais do que "Em + ele", ou "en él" do espanhol.
