Jurar

Jurar
 

This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word for June 4, 2009

jurar (verb) — to swear, vow. Look up jurar in the dictionary

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

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.

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

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

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?

Why do you say it.?

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

:D

It''s the same in Spanish:

Es muy malhablado, siempre está soltando juramentos.

"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

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