pelar 30秒で
- To remove the skin of fruits/vegetables.
- Common in cooking.
- Conjugates like 'tener' (e>ie).
- Examples: pelar manzanas, pelar patatas.
- Basic Meaning
- The verb 'pelar' primarily means to remove the skin or outer layer from fruits, vegetables, or other food items. Think of peeling an orange, a potato, or a banana. It's a very common action in the kitchen.
- Beyond Food
- While its most frequent use is related to food, 'pelar' can also be used metaphorically. For example, it can mean to strip something of its covering or outer protection. In some informal contexts, it can even refer to being very cold ('me estoy pelando de frío') or being broke ('no tengo un duro, estoy pelado'). However, for A1 learners, focus on the primary meaning related to food.
- Everyday Examples
- You'll hear 'pelar' when someone is preparing ingredients for a meal. For instance, 'Voy a pelar las patatas para hacer puré' (I'm going to peel the potatoes to make mashed potatoes). Or when talking about snacks, like '¿Quieres que te pele la naranja?' (Do you want me to peel the orange for you?). It's an essential verb for anyone learning about cooking or food preparation in Spanish.
Necesito pelar estas manzanas para hacer tarta.
¿Cómo se pela un plátano?
- Contexts
- Kitchen, food preparation, grocery shopping, conversations about meals.
- Basic Sentence Structure
- The most straightforward way to use 'pelar' is with a direct object, which is the item being peeled. The structure is typically: Subject + pelar (conjugated) + object. For instance, 'Yo pelo la naranja' (I peel the orange).
- Asking Questions
- You can ask if someone knows how to peel something or if they want something peeled. '¿Sabes pelar aguacates?' (Do you know how to peel avocados?). Or '¿Quieres que te pele el kiwi?' (Do you want me to peel the kiwi for you?).
- Giving Instructions
- In imperative form, you can tell someone to peel something. '¡Pela la patata!' (Peel the potato!). Or for a more polite command, 'Por favor, pela las zanahorias.' (Please, peel the carrots.).
- Describing Actions
- You can describe the process of peeling. 'El niño está aprendiendo a pelar plátanos.' (The child is learning to peel bananas.). Or 'Tengo que pelar todas las verduras antes de cocinar.' (I have to peel all the vegetables before cooking.).
Mamá, ¿puedes pelar esta manzana para mí?
Primero, pela la patata y luego córtala.
- In the Kitchen
- This is the most common place. When someone is cooking, they will inevitably need to peel ingredients. You'll hear instructions like 'Hay que pelar las cebollas para el sofrito' (You have to peel the onions for the sauté base) or 'Estoy pelando zanahorias para la ensalada' (I am peeling carrots for the salad).
- At the Market or Grocery Store
- When discussing produce, people might mention if something needs peeling or if it's pre-peeled. 'Estas patatas no necesitan pelarse' (These potatoes don't need peeling). Or someone might ask for help: '¿Me ayudas a pelar estos tomates?' (Will you help me peel these tomatoes?).
- In Restaurants and Cafes
- While less direct, you might overhear conversations about food preparation. A chef might instruct a kitchen helper, 'Pela los pepinos para la guarnición' (Peel the cucumbers for the garnish). Or a waiter might clarify an ingredient: 'La sopa lleva verduras peladas' (The soup has peeled vegetables).
- Informal Conversations about Food
- Friends or family discussing meals might use 'pelar'. 'Anoche pelamos mangos para el postre' (Last night we peeled mangoes for dessert). Or talking about children helping: 'Mi hijo pequeño ya sabe pelar naranjas' (My young son already knows how to peel oranges).
En la cocina, siempre me piden que pele las verduras.
- Confusing with 'descascarar'
- While 'descascarar' also means to peel, 'pelar' is much more common and general for fruits and vegetables. 'Descaraar' is often used for things with a harder shell or husk, like nuts or garlic. Stick to 'pelar' for everyday food items.
- Incorrect Conjugation
- 'Pelar' is a stem-changing verb (e>ie) in the present tense. Learners might incorrectly say 'pelo' instead of 'pelo' or forget the change in other forms. For example, saying 'yo pele' instead of 'yo pelo' or 'él pela' instead of 'él pela'. Always remember the 'ie' change: 'yo pelo', 'tú pelas', 'él/ella/usted pela'.
- Using it for Non-Food Items
- While 'pelar' can have metaphorical uses, at the A1 level, it's best to stick to its literal meaning of peeling food. Using it for things like 'pelar un cable' (to strip a wire) might be understood but is less common and potentially confusing for beginners.
- Overuse of 'a' preposition
- When 'pelar' is used transitively (with a direct object), you generally don't need a preposition like 'a' before the object unless it's a person being 'peeled' metaphorically (which is rare and not for A1). So, it's 'pelar la fruta', not 'pelar a la fruta'.
Incorrecto: Yo pele las patatas. Correcto: Yo pelo las patatas.
- 'Pelar' vs. 'Quitar la piel'
- 'Pelar' is the verb form, while 'quitar la piel' is a phrase meaning 'to remove the skin'. 'Pelar' is more concise and commonly used. For example, 'Voy a pelar la manzana' is more natural than 'Voy a quitar la piel a la manzana', although the latter is grammatically correct.
- 'Pelar' vs. 'Descascarar'
- As mentioned before, 'pelar' is for soft skins (fruits, vegetables), while 'descascarar' is for harder shells or husks (nuts, garlic, eggs). You 'pelas' a banana and 'descascaras' a pistachio. At A1, 'pelar' is the primary focus for food.
- 'Pelar' vs. 'Desnudar'
- 'Desnudar' means to undress or to strip bare. It's used for removing clothes or for metaphorical stripping of defenses. It's not used for food. You would never 'desnudar' an orange.
- 'Pelar' vs. 'Desollar'
- 'Desollar' means to skin an animal or to flay. It's a much more graphic and specific term, usually related to butchery or injuries. It is not used for fruits or vegetables.
Se pela la patata, no se descascara.

語源
The word 'pelar' comes from the Latin word 'pilare', which means 'to pluck' or 'to strip of hair'. This root is related to 'pilus', meaning 'hair'.
元の意味： Originally, it referred to stripping something of its hair or covering, similar to plucking feathers from a bird or removing hair from an animal's skin.
Indo-European > Italic > Latin > Romance > Spanish文化的な背景
The term 'pelar' is generally neutral when referring to food. However, its figurative uses like 'pelarse de frío' or 'estar pelado' are informal and should be used appropriately. The term 'desollar' (to skin an animal) is graphic and should be used with caution.
In English-speaking cultures, peeling is also a fundamental cooking skill. Similar terms like 'peel,' 'skin,' and 'pare' are used. The cultural significance might be less about communal ritual and more about efficiency and health (removing pesticides).

よくある質問
10 問'Pelar' is used for removing the softer skins of fruits and vegetables like apples, bananas, and potatoes. 'Descascarar' is used for harder shells or husks, such as those found on nuts (like walnuts or pistachios) or garlic. So, you 'pelas' a mango and 'descascaras' a garlic clove.

Yes, 'pelar' has some figurative uses. 'Me estoy pelando de frío' means 'I am freezing cold'. 'Estar pelado' means 'to be broke' or penniless. However, for A1 learners, it's best to focus on the primary meaning of peeling food.
The most common nouns are 'piel' and 'cáscara'. 'Piel' is generally used for thinner skins (like apples, potatoes), while 'cáscara' is often for thicker rinds or shells (like watermelon, eggs, or nuts). You 'pelar' the 'piel' or 'cáscara'.
Not always. It depends on the vegetable and the recipe. For example, you often 'pelar' potatoes for mashed potatoes but might leave the skin on roasted potatoes for extra flavor and nutrients. Similarly, some people prefer to leave the skin on carrots.
You can use a 'cuchillo' (knife) or a 'pelador' (peeler). A 'pelador' is specifically designed for peeling fruits and vegetables efficiently.
Yes, some fruits like pomegranates or durians can be challenging to peel. Also, some citrus fruits with very thick or tightly adhering peels can be difficult. The verb 'pelar' is used regardless of the difficulty.
'Pelar el hueso' literally means to gnaw on a bone until it's clean. Figuratively, it can mean to get to the bottom of something or to extract all possible value from a situation or resource.
The verb 'desollar' is used for skinning animals. 'Pelar' is generally not used for animals, although 'pelar la gallina' can refer to plucking a chicken.
'Pelar' is the single verb form, which is more common and concise. 'Quitar la piel' is a phrase meaning 'to remove the skin'. While grammatically correct, 'pelar' is usually preferred in everyday speech for peeling fruits and vegetables.
