la carne
the meat
Example Sentence

I look for lean meat for the family meal.
Meaning
La carne means meat in general, not a specific type. In stores, you will see it in the meat section and on labels like lean or fresh.
Common Phrases
- carne magra — lean meat
- comprar carne — to buy meat
Example
Hoy compro carne magra para la cena.
Today I am buying lean meat for dinner.
Common Mistake
Do not add an article when you are speaking generally in a list, like necesito la carne, la leche y la fruta. If it is general shopping, necesito carne, leche y fruta often sounds more natural.
