What does "Quemar" translate to in English?

To take away
To burn
To protect
To recognize

The correct answer is: To burn

The term "quemar" translates to "to burn" in English. This verb is commonly used in various contexts, such as describing the action of setting something on fire or the process of heating food until it becomes charred. In Spanish, "quemar" can also be used figuratively, for example, in expressions indicating that something has been metaphorically burned, such as in relationships or emotions. Understanding this verb is crucial, especially in contexts related to cooking, safety, and even literature where burning may symbolize transformation or destruction. Other options provide translations for different verbs: "to take away," "to protect," and "to recognize" do not relate to the meaning of "quemar" and represent different actions altogether. Recognizing these distinctions helps in building a strong vocabulary and understanding the nuances of verb meanings in Spanish.
