Zarpar
This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word for January 12, 2010
zarpar (verb) — to set sail, weigh anchor, get underway. Look up zarpar in the dictionary El barco zarpó para Grecia el jueves. The ship set sail for Greece on Thursday.

So if you want to say "Let's set sail" it would be "¡Zarpemos!" ¿No?
Could the same be applied, say, in a non-travel situation? For example, in English, I would say to my class, "Let's get underway" or something to that effect. Could I use "zarpar" in that situation? How about this? Conduciremos al Nueva York esta mañana. ¡Zarpemos!

Just something niggling here about the example.
I have a feeling that its "El barco zarpó hacia/para Grecia" not "por"

@Lou Ann: As Hernán said, "zarpar" is exclusively associated with a maritime ship.
And although metaphores have a wide range of usage, I don't recommend it for using it with Mexican students: a "maestro barco" (literally a "boat teacher") is a lazy and often corrupt one. Saying "zarpemos" could be interpreted as a cynical statement that you're one of those teachers.

I set sail from my beach near to my home.
I appreciate the correction.

Escrito originalmente por laepelba  So if you want to say "Let's set sail" it would be "¡Zarpemos!" ¿No? Could the same be applied, say, in a non-travel situation?

Conduciremos al Nueva York esta mañana. ¡Zarpemos!>>> Let's sail! ¡Zarpemos! Let´s get underway (Classroom) !Empecemos!, ¡manos a la obra! Conduciremos a Nueva York mañana ( you cannot use esta mñana because the timing is future not now) ¡Vámonos! ¡Arranquemos!¡Partamos! Zarpar is related with sea journey. |

In Argentina, if you say "esa persona es una 'zarpada'" (for example: "María es una zarpada"), means "that person is inappropriate".
