Just because you__doesn't mean you__

[poli]

Fill in the blank with a verb (Just because you read doesn't mean you understand/ just because you hear doesn't mean you listen/ just because
you can doesn't mean you should, etc).
How would you translate this:thinking:
Here's my attempt and I'm not sure it works. Si se le da leer no significa que entiende (se le da entiender).

Que lo lea(s) no significa que lo entienda(s)/ que lo oiga(s) no significa que lo escuche(s)/ que pueda(s) no significa que deba(s), etc.

I'd translate "Just because" as "Simplemente por el hecho de que (lo leas, etc.).

Isn't there some "it" (and that?) lacking? Just because you read it, it doesn't mean that you understand it. :thinking: Or maybe I'm wrong with my translation. :thinking:

Solo porque lees (sabes leer) no significa que entiendas.


Que lo lea(s) no significa que lo entienda(s)/ que lo oiga(s) no significa que lo escuche(s)/ que pueda(s) no significa que deba(s), etc.

I guess both ways are correct. (grammatically)

EDIT:

Sorry, I didn't answer correctly. Like Poli says "it" would be used for an specific document or whatever is it that is being read.

My answer was concerning "that".

Gracias Irma mar que lo lea no significa que lo entienda.:thumbsup: Gracias Chileno tambien.
Su pregunta de la palabra it y por que no lo usé en mis frases:
En esto me parece que hay una diferencia entre inglés y español. En inglés se puede decir just because can read doesn't mean you understand, y significa leer en general. Por estar más específico se dice just because
you can read it (un documento legal por ejemplo) doesn't mean you can
understand it.
I hope this helps.

También he oído:
"No porque lo leas significa que lo entiendas."
