To remove /tu rɪˈmuv/ significa principalmente quitar, retirar o eliminar. Usamos este verbo cuando separamos una cosa de un lugar, hacemos que algo deje de estar presente o sacamos a una persona de un puesto o lugar.

Este verbo se usa comúnmente de estas maneras:

  • Remove something — quitar, retirar o eliminar algo.
    • Please remove the label. — “Por favor, quita la etiqueta.”
  • Remove something from somewhere — quitar o sacar algo de un lugar.
    • She removed the keys from her pocket. — “Ella sacó las llaves de su bolsillo.”
  • Remove someone from a place or position — sacar, expulsar o destituir a alguien.
    • They removed him from office. — “Lo destituyeron de su cargo.”

En inglés, remove no siempre corresponde al verbo español remover. Por ejemplo, “Remove the lid” significa “Quita la tapa”, no “Remueve la tapa”.

Para hablar de ropa, zapatos o accesorios, remove es correcto, pero puede sonar formal. En una conversación cotidiana, generalmente usamos take off: “Remove your shoes” y “Take off your shoes” significan “Quítate los zapatos”, pero la segunda opción es más común al hablar.

Remove y delete tampoco significan exactamente lo mismo. Podemos remove un elemento de una lista, una aplicación o un lugar. Usamos delete especialmente cuando borramos un archivo, mensaje o dato digital.

Remove se pronuncia /rɪˈmuv/. La forma de tercera persona removes se pronuncia /rɪˈmuvz/, con sonido final /z/. El pasado y el participio removed se pronuncian /rɪˈmuvd/, con sonido final /d/. El gerundio removing se escribe sin la e final y se pronuncia /rɪˈmu.vɪŋ/.
