Tocar means to touch. Jugar means to play. When you talk about playing a musical instrument, however, you use tocar.

There are two meanings for the verb "tocar": 1) "To touch" 2) "to play an instrument" "Jugar" means "to play a sport or game" Hope this helps! : )

(Singing) The cat touches the cheese. The cat touches the cheese. Hi ho the dairio, the cat touches the cheese.
Because that's another tempus, is touching and touch are not the same. Is touching means the cat is currently touching it but touch means that it touch it i general, it doesn't has to be right now.
Is there any alternate meaning to "tocar" in this sentence, or does it really just mean that a cat is touching cheese?

Sometimes, I think it can mean play like an instrument ("toca el piano," for example). Or to tap or knock ("tocar a la puerta" means to knock on the door) but I don't think there's any other meaning here. The cat is literally touching cheese. With its little paws.
If I was the cat, I would eat it. Seriously, WHY WOULD A CAT WANT TO TOUCH A PIECE OF CHEESE.
I'm pretty sure there was some sentence I just did where duolingo translated toca with "feel" as an additional translation (suggestion). I tried that now, it's wrong. Can anyone explain when/why/if tocar is translated to "feel"?
