Usage Note
Subir means 'to go up, climb, or raise' and is the antonym of bajar. In digital contexts it has become the standard word for 'to upload' (subir un archivo). When used with transport, it means 'to get on' (subir al autobús). The stem does not change — it is a regular -ir verb with no diphthong alternation.
Examples
"Hay que subir las escaleras a pie."
