to cede, yield: a) to allow others to gain control/power over oneself: eles não tiveram alternativa a não ser ceder à pressão militar / they had no alternative but to yield to military pressure. b) to yield (to break down / move): a cadeira cedeu sob o peso de Judy e espatifou-se / the chair yielded under Judy’s weight and broke into pieces. c) to substitute for another: a música caipira autêntica está rapidamente cedendo espaço a musiquinhas adocicadas falsas / genuine caipira folk music is quickly giving way to fake and sugary tunes: aqui temos que parar e ceder passagem / we are supposed to stop here and give way.
