This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word (http://daily.tomisimo.org/) for June 4, 2009

jurar (verb) — to swear, vow. Look up jurar in the dictionary (http://www.tomisimo.org/dictionary/spanish_english/jurar)

Juró que jamás volvería a robar.
He swore he would never steal again.

[CrOtALiTo]

Swore is the same that promise.

For example.

I swore to I never will come to hit you again.

I promise you that I never will come to hit you again.

Are those example like?

[bobjenkins]

Swore is the same that promise.

For example.

I swore to I never will come to hit you again.

I promise you that I never will come to hit you again.


Are those example like?

Sí en inglés "promise y swear" tienes el mismo significado:) Pienso que se usa "swear" cuando se quiere enfatizar qué está dicho

Swear es una más palabra fuerte que promise

Espero que me entiendes

----
He jurado año pasado que nunca pierdo la fe en mis habilidades. Y ellos jámas me fracasan.

----
Juré el año pasado que nunca pierdo la fe en mis habilidades. Y ellas jámas me decepcionan.

This is the same in Spanish with "jurar" and "prometer"

[bobjenkins]

This is the same in Spanish with "jurar" and "prometer"

Gracias amiga estas equivocaciones me ayudan. No encontré el verbo "decepcionar":)

[Tomisimo]

Swore is the same that promise. Is "swear" the same as "promise"?

For example.

I swore to I never will come to hit you again. I swear I will never hit you again.

I promise you that I never will come to hit you again. I promise I will never hit you again.

Are those example like? Are these examples the same?

to swear = jurar
to promise = prometer

Son similares, pero no iguales.

[CrOtALiTo]

to swear = jurar
to promise = prometer

Son similares, pero no iguales.

I got it, thanks you for your comments.:)

The dear friend the word swear and promise are not the same.

For example if I can say.

Te juro que no ire a jeepear.

Then I have to say.

I swear you I won't go to jeepear. (This sentence is stronger than other one)

I promise you I won't go to jeepear ( This sentence is less strong)

I know that they are no the same, but I want to understand the winch one I have to use now instead of the other chose.

I have seen that you have gotten better in your Spanish the last few days, I hope you continue so, because it's very important for your knowledge and your private life.


I appreciate your help.

Sincerely yours.

De nada y gracias amigo:)

Qué que dijiste, swear/jurar es más fuerte que promise/prometer, es correcto:)


Y espero que aprendas mucho del inglés amigo:)

Swear - also means to use bad words.

p.e.

- Why do you always swear when you are angry?

[CrOtALiTo]

Swear - also means to use bad words.

- Why do you always swear when you are angry?

Why do you say it.?

[Elaina]

Why do you say it.?


Because it's true! Swear also means "using bad words".

:D

[irmamar]

Because it's true! Swear also means "using bad words".

:D

It''s the same in Spanish:

Es muy malhablado, siempre está soltando juramentos.

[brute]

Because it's true! Swear also means "using bad words".

:D

"Jurar" is related to English "jury" (jurado) so named because they are "sworn in." Winesses also have to swear an oath. "I swear by almighty God ....." Anyone who swears a false oath commits not only perjury but blasphemy. A mere "promise" is weaker than an oath and can be broken with less chance of retribution

[lee ying]

I heard to say yo juro saying like this ； this is my word: lo juro, Am I right?
