To take a taxi (Peru — a cultural false friend)

O que significa?
A genuinely useful regional heads-up: the verb "coger" (to take/grab) is completely neutral and normal in Peru — "coger un taxi", "coger el bus" are everyday phrases. In Mexico and a few other countries, "coger" is crude slang and best avoided entirely. In Peru, there's nothing to worry about.
Como usar
Completely normal and polite in Peru. Travelers coming from Mexico often avoid "coger" out of habit — in Peru you can use it freely.
Frases de exemplo
