Thru & Through - Page 2

Another common one for "por que" is "xk".

xk? wow that so does not look like por que. I think texting is bad for your education :P

For more reasons than just that one.......................................

I want to insist in the word Through and it used. Because I don't can understand the different between the two words showed here in this topic.

Always I have used the word At to say the data or other thing very distinct to the said before. But I never have used the word thru or through to say the date.


Thru and through both words meaning the same. But they together meaning directo or atraves.


For example I wanna say.

I'm going directly through of the road in bad shabby.

Or I give you other example.


You will go thru of the live laughing of yourself.

I hope you can understand me.

And I referring to the said before for Fazor. Well I never have heard the word Drive-through.

What does driver-through mean?

There is no difference in meaning between through and thru. Thru is used on signs and in certain phrases where a shorter form of the word is desired.

Many fast-food restaurants allow you to order your food without ever leaving your car. These restaurants are known as drive-thru restaurants. McDonald's is a drive-thru restaurant, for example. There's a small window on the side of the building where you pay and wait for your food without getting out of your car (or turning it off, for that matter). The window is known as a drive-up window.
Fast-food restaurants aren't the only establishments with drive-thru service. Other restaurants provide the same or similar services. You can also do your banking and your dry cleaning without ever leaving your car. You can go to the pharmacy or watch a movie (at a drive-in theater), and even attend church (:eek: also done at a drive-in) without ever leaving your car.

drive-thru (n.) lugar por donde se puede pasar sin tener que salir del coche/carro/auto

MacAuto, auto-burguer, servi-carro, pasar por la ventanilla (autoservicio)

If you want to always use "through" and forget about "thru" you'd be safe Crotalito. There's never an instance where "thru" cannot be replaced by "through".

However, there's many, many places where it would not be acceptable to use "thru".

In short, "thru" is very informal and is not really a word, but it is accepted on (some) signs. As Rusty said, it's typically a way to save space.

Rusty. I know that. I meet that places as McDonald's middle other places of the same kind of business.

I have understood the meaning of both words refer to the use of Thru and Through.

I haven't more questions about.

Thank you for your advice.
