How to Say ‘I'll grab my coat’ in Spain Spanish
Cojo el abrigo
KOH-hoh ehl ah-BREE-goh
[KOH-hoh ehl ah-BREE-goh]
💬 Usage Tip: Spanish uses el "the" for your own things where English says "my", so it's cojo el abrigo rather than mi abrigo.
🇪🇸 In Spain: coger "to grab" is completely innocent in Spain, but in much of Latin America it's vulgar slang for sex. People there say agarro el abrigo.
