@ Alan Perhaps Asker could take the trouble to tell us if she knows whether it was originally written in English and translated afterwards

Alan Otero Oct 11, 2023:

regarding the "submit" typo I don't think that's the case... Unless the @asker states that she knows that it was originally written in English and translated afterwards, but I doubt that's the case.

Lisa Rosengard Oct 10, 2023:

I guess it could be that he or she makes the letter be a priority in support of a cause.

philgoddard Oct 10, 2023:

patinba That's a possibility, though the similarity could be a coincidence.

una imagen de la carta original para valorar si se trata o se puede tratar de una errata o lapsus.
No es expresión habitual, aunque la gente puede inventarse algo o crear una imagen.
Se leería mejor algo así
Hago cumbre CON esta carta...

AllegroTrans Oct 10, 2023:

@ patinba... ...someone or something has confused the verb "to summit" and "to submit" ?
So could this letter have been originally translated from English? This would be a credible explanation
Asker, do you know?

Alan Otero Oct 10, 2023:

No idea about the country. I don't think it's a typo, but I have never seen this expression used like this before. I believe it's used as a metaphore implying that the letter is placed at the top of priorities, given maximum importance.

"I want to give this letter in support of... utmost importance" / "I give absolute precedence to this letter in support of..."

Another possibility would be that the use of "hago cumbre" means sharing the content of the letter with a group of important people, as in the 4th definition shared by Winstonn, but I'd rather go with my previous interpretation.

patinba Oct 10, 2023:

I would hate to think someone or something had confused the verb "to summit" and "to submit" ?

philgoddard Oct 10, 2023:

Maybe it's a typo.

abe(L)solano Oct 10, 2023:

I think this wording is something quite local/personal. Never heard it before in Spain/Mexico or Argentinian Spanish. Agree with Phil.

philgoddard Oct 10, 2023:

From the context, it presumably means 'I am submitting'.

Wilsonn Perez Reyes Oct 10, 2023:

Sí, que alguien nos explique... este uso de "cumbre" que no signifique "llegar a la cima" (reach the summit) porque parece que la RAE no lo registra:

cumbre
Del lat. culmen, -ĭnis.

1. f. Cima o parte superior de un monte.
2. f. Mayor elevación de algo o máximo grado a que puede llegar. Está en la cumbre de su carrera.
3. adj. Dicho de una cosa: Que tiene la máxima perfección o importancia en su género. Obra cumbre. Período cumbre.
4. adj. Dicho especialmente de una reunión: Compuesta por los máximos dignatarios nacionales o internacionales para tratar asuntos de especial importancia. Conferencia cumbre. U. t. c. s. f. Cumbre iberoamericana.

La meta de los alpinistas es “hacer cumbre” o sea llegar a ese lugar, que exige mucho esfuerzo y sacrificio.
