    solve vs. resolve

    Comment
    Hallo!
    Wo ist denn der Unterschied zwischen solve und resolve, wann nimmt man was?
    Also, wann sagt man z. B. "to solve a problem" und wann "the problem was resolved". Ist resolved für das Passiv?

    loosely speaking they can be used in same situations.
    Can be a matter of context and subjective taste.

    You solve math/engineering/science problems

    You resolve issues

    solve has a sense of definitive resolution whereas resolve might imply no clear outcome but merely that there has been some compromise and the issue is no longer on the table for discussion.

    You

    resolve issues (like childhood trauma)
    solve problems (like math)

    but I bet immediatley there will be a million exceptions to this generalization.
