For some reason, Por and Para are very difficult for foreigners. I can understand why.. You just have to study, study, study.
Jessica's answer is very useful. ;) |
Por/para ... and others ... and there are similar difficulties for Spanish speakers learning English. (And I would assume with other languages as well....)
In thinking about this, I have come to the conclusion that the difficulty lies where there is ONE word in a language that can be translated as TWO different words (with different uses) in the other language. Some examples: Spanish >>> English ser/estar = to be por/para = for saber/conocer = to know English >>> Spanish get = muchas palabras I know there are more, but these are the ones that frequently come to mind...... |

Quedar - still drives me crazy!! :) |

Also, "on" and "in". They both mean "en". "On" is supposedly used when referring to "encima" and "in" when referring to "dentro" or "adentro". But it doesn't always work that way.. :o:duh: Why would you say "write it on the list"but"write it in the note" ???:sad::?: :rolleyes:;) Quote:

MM they have different meanings and use for example by me (Por mí) I will do something for me specially, and the other phrase for me (Para mí) I will get something for me, it is for me use.
Then as you can watch in the examples they almost have the same meaning but they are totally different. Sincerely yours. |
