What is the meaning of 'dar'?

  1. To dare

  2. To give

  3. To darken

  4. To draw

The correct answer is: To give

The correct answer is "to give" because the verb "dar" is a fundamental verb in the Spanish language that translates directly to "give" in English. It is used to indicate the act of providing something to someone else, whether it's a physical object, information, or even intangible things like affection or time. This verb appears frequently in everyday conversations, making it essential for effective communication in Spanish. In contrast, the other options do not align with the meaning of "dar." The verb "to dare" might be confused with the Spanish verb "atreverse," while "to darken" relates to the verb "oscurecer," and "to draw" is translated as "dibujar." Each of these verbs reflects a different action and emphasizes the importance of understanding the distinct meanings of verbs in Spanish.
