Spanish Verb: Bajar, subir
Author: Johns SmithSpanish Verb: Bajar, subir
Pronunciation: Bah-hahr, soo-beer
Translation: go down, go up
Function: verb
Saying ‘bajar abajo’ [go down down] or ’subir arriba’ [go up up] is a frequent mistake done by foreigners, because they are thinking in English.
Just because the preposition is used in English, it doesn´t have to be used in Spanish too. The definition of the Spanish verbs ’subir and ‘bajar’ imply the direction already.
Example:Tiene que bajar para llegar ahí
Translation:You have to go down to get there
