Also means
to push hard
Usage Note
Pujar primarily means to make a bid at an auction (pujar por un cuadro). It also means to struggle or strain — physically pushing through difficulty or competing hard for something. Context usually disambiguates the auction sense from the effort sense.
Examples
"Varios compradores pujaron por la casa."
Natural Translation
Several buyers bid for the house.
