Spanking vs. Hitting

When you use this verb with a person or a pet, you must put the word 'a' before them (e.g., 'azotar a alguien').

Using 'a' with People

In many modern contexts, this word is quite strong and usually refers to historical or severe physical actions.

Setting the Scene

This meaning uses abstract concepts (like 'hunger' or 'crisis') as the subject that performs the 'hitting' on a place or group.

Abstract Subjects
