vuotare

to empty

verb vwoh-TAH-reh Rare

Also means

to drain

Usage Note

Vuotare takes avere as its auxiliary and is transitive — vuotare un bicchiere (empty a glass), vuotare le tasche (empty one's pockets). Do not confuse it with svuotare, which is essentially synonymous but slightly more emphatic about making something completely void.

Examples

"Vuota il bicchiere prima di uscire."

Natural Translation

Empty the glass before leaving.
