In French, the phrase 'retirer un [nombre cardinal]' is used to describe the action of removing or taking out a specific quantity of something. The term 'retirer' means 'to take out' or 'to withdraw,' and it is commonly used in various contexts such as shopping, where one might 'retirer un fruit' meaning 'take out a fruit,' or in finance, where it could mean 'withdraw a sum of money'. The structure involves placing the cardinal number in brackets to indicate that it varies based on the situation.
