What does 'pintar' translate to?

  1. To paint

  2. To practice

  3. To like

  4. To prefer

The correct answer is: To paint

The term 'pintar' directly translates to "to paint" in English. It is a verb that refers specifically to the act of applying color to a surface, such as by using paint, which is a fundamental action in the context of art and design. This translation captures the essence of the word as commonly used in both everyday conversations and artistic contexts in the Spanish language. The other options represent different verbs in Spanish. "Practicar" translates to "to practice," which relates to engaging in an activity to improve skill. "Gustar" means "to like," indicating a preference or enjoyment of something. "Preferir" translates to "to prefer," showing a choice or favoring one option over another. While all these verbs are relevant in various conversations when exploring likes, activities, or preferences, they do not relate to the primary meaning of 'pintar.'
