[edit]Verb
[edit]pegar (first-person singular present pego, first-person singular preterite peguí, past participle pegat); root stress: (Central) /ɛ/; (Valencia, Balearic) /e/
- (intransitive) to hit (in order to harm) [with a ‘someone’]
- Per què li pegueu a aquest noi? ― Why are you hitting this boy?

Usage notes
[edit]- Words like "to jump", "to shove", "to knock" can be expressed in two ways. The first is with simple verbs (saltar, empènyer, pegar). The second is to use the construction with a verb roughly meaning "to make" plus indefinite article plus substantive (fer un salt / donar un salt / pegar un salt, donar una empenta / pegar una empenta, donar un cop / pegar un cop).
