Hello,

I need your help.

I am not sure which is correct to say: take a peek or take a peak? I've seen both of them to be used with the meaning take a look.

Would you explain these expressions to me please?

Thank you.

'Peek' is correct-- it means a quick look. 'Peak' is wrong-- it means a mountain top. This is a commonly confused pair of homophones.
