Another word that can be used both as a noun and a verb in English is “impact.” As a noun, impact can be translated as “influência” or “impacto” depending on the context. Here are some examples:
He has had a great impact on our town even though he was only with us a short time.
The impact from the truck sent the pedestrian flying through the air.
The use of “impact” as a verb is considered incorrect by many writers, because they contend that “influence” is a better word. However, this does not change the fact that “impact” is also frequently used as a verb meaning “influenciar.” Here is an example:
She was impacted by his godly example.
Because “impact” can be used as a noun meaning “influência” and a verb meaning “influenciar” it is tempting to think that, since it can mean “impacto” that it can also be used as a verb meaning “criar impacto.” However, this is not the case.
There is another example of how this word is used:
