Check this package to make sure it contains everything. (averiguar, revisar, investigar)
Check out my latest blog. Check out my new skateboard. (echar un vistazo, ver) Which book would you like to check out first? (leer, revisar) "Which book will you be checking out today?" the librarian inquired. (sacar) He checked out. (morirse, estirar la pata) Also, check out = marcharse (de hotel), pagar (pasar por la caja) He checked out the child to make sure he had no bruises from the incident. (examinar) He checked on the child to make sure he was asleep. (asegurarse, enterarse, averiguar) He checked up on the child to make sure he wasn't doing anything illegal. (investigar) Last edited by Rusty; October 14, 2012 at 06:40 PM. |

Great , thanks !
I see that check and check out overlap sometimes, especially when they mean revisar. |

To check something out in contemporary calloquial American English means to try something or to pay special attention to.

"Check in" at the airport is "Facturar".

And if you say "check" playing chess means "jaque al rey".
If you say it at a restaurant, "Check!", to a waiter, you ask for "la cuenta"...
