you put (in), you insert
Metes cosas dentro y te lo pones así.
You put things inside and wear it like this.

Si la metes en mi boca la pierdes.
If you put it in my mouth, you'll lose it.

Hacemos un agujero, metes la moneda, la enterramos bien.
We dig a hole, you put the coin in, and we bury it well.
