What does 'caer' mean?

  1. to know (meet)

  2. to fall

  3. to have

  4. to bring

The correct answer is: to fall

The verb 'caer' does not actually translate to "to know (meet)". The correct verb for that translation would be "encontrar". Similarly, 'caer' does not mean "to have" or "to bring". The correct translations for those words would be "tener" and "traer" respectively. Therefore, the correct translation for 'caer' is "to fall", meaning dropping or losing one's balance or suddenly descending.
