🧠 What it means
If darse de baja is opting out, then darse de alta is its happy, proactive twin.
It means (drum roll 🥁)...
👉 to sign up / to register / to enroll
And trust me, this chunk pops up EVERYWHERE, from setting up a phone line to registering for healthcare to opening a bank account.
🌪️ When to whip it out
Whenever you're getting officially added to a system:
Lo puedo dar de alta hoy mismo.
I can get you set up today.
Oh, and it’s also used when you’re discharged from the hospital:
Ya me dieron de alta.
I've already been discharged.
