to catch

Usage Note

Cazar means to hunt animals for sport or food; it also extends figuratively to 'catch' or 'track down' (e.g., cazar un error = to catch a mistake). Under seseo it sounds identical to casar ('to marry'), but the spelling differs (z vs s). The z→c change before e produces cacé, cacemos.

Examples

"Van a cazar ciervos en el bosque este fin de semana."

Natural Translation

They are going to hunt deer in the forest this weekend.
