sacar verb: to take out
  • Sacar is another very common verb, which translates to take out in lots of different contexts:
    Voy a sacar dinero del cajero automático I’m going to take some money out of the ATM
    sacar la basura to take the garbage out
    Se sacó las llaves del bolsillo He took the keys out of his pocket
  • Notice the use of se in the previous example, to show that it’s his own pocket
    It’s even a word you use when you go to the dentist - ouch!
    Voy a sacar dinero del cajero automático I’m going to take some money out of the ATM
    sacar la basura to take the garbage out
    Se sacó las llaves del bolsillo He took the keys out of his pocket
