Is there any difference between 'journey' and 'trip'? :thinking:

Thanks. :)

BrE answer: yes. A trip is short, a journey is long.

A trip to the coast (in England, never a long way)
A journey to Africa (from England, a long way)

An AmE answer would be different. :)

Thanks :) . I'll try to remember (the word 'journey' is longer than 'trip') :D

Same, Perikles

Pienso que ya existe un hilo sobre eso , pero no lo encontré

Como los otros dicen,

A trip is shorter than a journey

It must be why there isn't a rock band named Trip... :rolleyes:

Journey is more used in the books and definitions of the a travel.
Trip is more used when you go to a short or long travel some place.:)

Here any examples.

The journey to the marvelous human mind.
I will do a little trip to England.

Have a good day.

I think if you went to England, that woult be a journey, not a trip, since England is far from Mexico. ;)

Corrección.

There is another one (a typo): woult (I didn't realise) ;) :D

Sorry, no correction needed. :):p We do have subjunctives in English, you know.

Thanks, I was aa bit confused, since I had used would. :)

Duh.

That's right. Thanks.

From my understanding, journey is more like un trayecto in Spanish. Just a pompous word that's rarely used. You will almost never hear a native speaker of English talk about going on a journey anywhere.

Not at all, and it is more or less used in the same way it is used in English, and then some.

That may be the case in AmE, but certainly not BrE. I have had a direct comparison here. After a flight between two countries, I have heard an American stewardess say over the intercom "We hope you have had a good trip". I have also heard an English stewardess after a similar flight say "We hope that you have had a pleasant journey". I know which one I prefer.

I don't think "trayecto" is any pompous or rarely used. Quite the contrary. :thinking:

Estuvo lloviendo durante todo el trayecto.

Supe que la autopista tiene un tramo en construcción: ¿Qué tal está esa parte del trayecto?

Podemos parar en el trayecto, para comprar agua y refrescos.

We can stop during the trip.

We can do a stop during the route.

Those are my ideas about this thread.
