Spanish Verb: Echar

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009 | Permalink

Spanish Noun:Echar

Pronunciation:Ay-chahr

Translation:Throw

Function:verb

‘Echar’ is very useful as a ‘wild card’, so you can use it with many different meanings, as in: ‘échame la pelota’ [thrown me the ball], ‘échate una canción’ [play a song], ‘no me eches la culpa’ [don't put the blame on me]

Usage is done when something is thrown physically or as a figura of speech. Just don´t put an ‘h’ at the beginning, because ‘hecho’ is a noun -something done even by locals sometimes-

Example:échale mas agua

Translation:add more water
