How to Say ‘I'll grab my drink’ in Spain Spanish
Cojo mi copa
KOH-hoh mee KOH-pah
[KOH-hoh mee KOH-pah]
💬 Usage Tip: Spanish often uses the present tense for something you're about to do, where English says "I'll": cojo "I'll grab." It's the same with pago yo "I'll pay."
🇪🇸 In Spain: coger "to take, to grab" is everyday and harmless in Spain. In much of Latin America it's vulgar slang, so agarrar or tomar is safer there.
