sudar (verb) — to sweat. Look up sudar in the dictionary

Después de caminar en el sol empecé a sudar mucho.
After walking in the sun I started sweating profusely.

In chile sudar is used for animals, and transpire for humans.

In Spain we say "sudar". "Transpirar" is also used, but usually we say "sudar".

Some expressions with sweat:
- Sudar la gota gorda
- Sudar sangre
- Sudar tinta china
- Sudar como un cerdo/pollo

En chile decimos lo mismo, pero con transpiración.

Osea sudamos la gota gorda tratando de decirlo... :rolleyes:

Ah! en vez de cerdo usamos chancho.
