What does 'buscar' translate to in English?

  1. To understand

  2. To look/search for

  3. To ask

  4. To remember

The correct answer is: To look/search for

The correct translation of "buscar" in English is "to look/search for." In Spanish, the verb "buscar" specifically conveys the action of seeking or attempting to find something, making it synonymous with "to look for" or "to search for" in English. This aligns precisely with the context and common usage of the term in both languages. The other options don't reflect the meaning of "buscar." While "to understand," "to ask," and "to remember" relate to different actions, they do not capture the essence of seeking or looking for something, which is the central meaning of "buscar."
