What is the meaning of 'conocer' in English?

  1. to leave

  2. to know (meet)

  3. to bring

  4. to have

The correct answer is: to know (meet)

The correct answer is "to know (meet)" because 'conocer' in Spanish means "to know" in the sense of being familiar with a person or a place or having met someone for the first time. In Spanish, 'conocer' is used when referring to meeting or knowing people, places, or things. It is important to differentiate between 'conocer' and 'saber' in Spanish, as 'saber' typically refers to knowing facts or information rather than being acquainted with someone or something. The other options are not correct: A. "to leave" is translated to "salir" in Spanish. C. "to bring" is translated to "traer" in Spanish. D. "to have" is translated to "tener" in Spanish.
