Spanish Verb: Echar
Author: Johns SmithSpanish 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
