What does the verb "culpar" mean?

To complete
To damage
To give
To blame

The correct answer is: To blame

The verb "culpar" means "to blame." It is used when someone assigns responsibility for a fault or wrong action to another person. In various contexts, whether in conversations about mistakes, misfortunes, or accusations, "culpar" conveys the idea of holding someone accountable for something negative. This is particularly evident in sentences like "No me culpes por lo que pasó," which translates to "Don’t blame me for what happened." In contrast, the other options do not align with the meaning of "culpar." "To complete" refers to finishing something, "to damage" involves causing harm, and "to give" indicates the act of transferring something to someone else. None of these verbs capture the essence of assigning blame that "culpar" does. Thus, understanding "culpar" as "to blame" is crucial for effective communication in Spanish.
