Also means
to beat
Usage Note
Sacudir means to shake vigorously (sacudir una alfombra — to beat a rug) or to jolt (el terremoto sacudió la ciudad). Reflexively, sacudirse can mean to shake something off oneself or to free oneself from something unpleasant. It is stronger and more physical than agitar, which implies gentler or rhythmic motion.
Examples
"Sacudió la alfombra en el balcón."
Natural Translation
She shook the rug on the balcony.
