Do you play golf? Then perhaps you often “putt” the golf ball. A putt – golpe corto – is a gentle or careful hitting of the golf ball in the hope that it goes into the hole. The pronunciation of the “u” is similar to the word “gut.”
Put (poner, meter), the verb, is perhaps easy for you, although there are many phrasal verbs with “put”. For another article.
However, “put” is a noun. There is a concept: a put. Some people buy a ”put” or “puts” (derechos de venta) and “put options” is another phrase with the same meaning.
So perhaps during the working week you buy and sell “puts”, and then head for the golf course and try to “putt” the golf ball into a hole. Who knows?
