意思
To ride in a taxi.
文化背景
In Spain, 'coger un taxi' is the most common way to say this. 'Tomar' is understood but sounds slightly formal or Latin American to Spanish ears. Always use 'tomar' in Mexico. The verb 'coger' is a very strong slang term for sexual intercourse and should be avoided in transport contexts. In Buenos Aires, taxis are black and yellow. People often call them 'tachos' informally, and the drivers are 'tacheros'.
The 'Safe' Verb
If you are traveling through multiple Spanish-speaking countries, always use 'tomar'. It is the only verb that is 100% safe and polite everywhere.
Check the Meter
In many countries, you should ask '¿Tiene taxímetro?' before you 'tomar un taxi' to avoid being overcharged.
