What is the English meaning of 'salir'?

  1. to know (meet)

  2. to leave

  3. to come

  4. to have

The correct answer is: to leave

The word "salir" translates to "to leave" in English. This verb is commonly used in various contexts to indicate exiting a place or departing from one location to another. For example, one might say "Voy a salir de la casa," which means "I am going to leave the house." While the other options represent different verbs with their own meanings, they do not correspond to the translation of "salir." "To know" relates to knowledge or familiarity, "to come" indicates arriving at a place, and "to have" pertains to possession—all of which are distinct from the action of leaving. Hence, the correct answer is "to leave."
