Rusty notes "now" is a filler, but I think it's very rarely used.

Thanks, Poli

Por me culpa = it's my fault

Es mi culpa = because of the bad thing I did.

Por mi culpa vs. es mi culpa

I was told (but didn't understand the specific reasons) that:

por mi culpa and es mi culpa

Have slightly different meanings.


If you someone cares to explain I'd be grateful.
