Language learners often face the challenge of understanding expressions they hear daily but can\u2019t fully grasp. At Jaleo Madrid, we understand this struggle and are here to help. Today, we\u2019re focusing on the verb \u201csacar,\u201d which literally means \u201cto take out,\u201d but takes on entirely different meanings in various expressions. Let\u2019s dive into five essential expressions with \u201csacar\u201d that you might encounter in your Spanish-speaking journey.<\/p>\n
In Spanish, \u201cestar rojo\u201d (being red) doesn\u2019t relate to your political views but rather to feeling embarrassed. When someone says \u201csacar los colores a alguien,\u201d they\u2019re talking about making someone feel embarrassed. For example, \u201cHe didn\u2019t do his homework, and the teacher embarrassed him in front of the whole class.\u201d<\/p>\n
Every relationship has its secrets, best kept hidden. In Spanish, these secrets are referred to as \u201ctrapos sucios\u201d (dirty laundry). When you \u201csacar los trapos sucios,\u201d you reveal these unpleasant aspects in public. For instance, \u201cThey had a big argument in the bar and aired their dirty laundry in front of everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n
If something makes you very nervous or angry, it \u201csaca de sus casillas\u201d (drives you mad). This expression is used when someone or something gets on your last nerve. For example, \u201cYou can\u2019t be late for that appointment; you know that being late drives him mad.\u201d<\/p>\n
When talking about grades on an exam in Spanish, the verb \u201csacar\u201d is used. You might hear, \u201cHe sacado un 10 en el examen de espa\u00f1ol\u201d (I got a 10 on the Spanish exam). This expression is particularly useful for students discussing their academic achievements.<\/p>\n
Magicians often pull objects out of their hats or sleeves. In Spanish, \u201csacarse algo de la manga\u201d means to say or do something unexpected and usually without any basis. For example, \u201cHe didn\u2019t know what to say for being late again, so he pulled an excuse out of thin air.\u201d<\/p>\n
