cocina spanish help..?

Question

cocina is kitchen but it means "it cook" or do you not say he she it cooked?

please explain "cocina"

thank you.

Answer 1

"Cocina" as a noun is "kitchen" or "cuisine"

The verb is "cocinar" and the conjugation of the 3rd person singular is "cocina" = "Él/ella cocina".

Also, talking about food that is being cooked, or is cooking, you say "(la verdura) se cocina". Again, 3rd person singular but it's Passive Voice in Spanish with the pronoun 'se'.

"Cocina" is also the imperative for 'tú': "Cook now!" .. "¡cocina ahora!"

"¡Tú!.. ¡cocina ahora la cocina francesa en la cocina donde ella cocina!" = "You!.. cook now the French cuisine in the kitchen where she is cooking (or she cooks)!".

EDIT: "he/she/it cooked" would be "cocinó" (preterite) or "cocinaba" (imperfect),
.

Answer 2

The noun cocina means kitchen. Cocinar, is the verb "to cook." Cocina means "he cooks, she cooks or it cooks."

Make sure you pronounce it CoSeena. If you pronounce it CoCHeena, you're calling a woman a derogatory name. The above answer is correct. Just wanted to make sure you don't pronounce it like I did one time. Thankfully we were at home and my husband was there to correct me as I read to our daughter in Spanish.
My husband speaks fluent Spanish.
