In this video, we compare three verbs that CAN all mean “to try”: “intentar,” “probar” and “tratar”. We’ll talk about when to use which, plus when they’re interchangeable and when they’re NOT.

Excelente video. Yo soy hispano y por lo tanto mi primer lenguaje es el español. Vivo en USA y me gusta que mis hijos aprendan bien el español y por eso constantemente busco videos que expliquen las cosas difíciles del español para enseñarselas a ellos. Este video es perfecto. Me suscribí a tu cuenta. Muy buen trabajo! Gracias!

Another great video, Jordan. Thank you for helping all of us to learn and speak better Spanish. Today you've helped me to better understand that the use of a verb is not only based on the language definition, but can also be based on the country, or region within a country. Thanks again and I look forward to your next video.

Hi Jordan. For your two questions: "Este test lo probará" can mean both things: "this test will prove it" and "this test will test you" (in a polite "usted" form), but the second one is not commonly used in Spain, but in America, and I'm not really sure if it's correctly formed with "lo" instead of "le". I have the doubt myself. About the word "pinchazo" means a shot of an injection, needle or thorn, but also when a tire is punctured ("he tenido un pinchazo"), a failure or fiasco or, what I think it's referring to in the headline, when a phone call is heard by a third person (ie. the police in an investigation). This word is probably related to the commutation boards in telephony. You can say "esta linea está pinchada" for a phone line with someone listening the calls. Most of the police operations have an ironic name, so any of these meanings may apply.

Jordan to see you once again back in the game. I have come to see that learning Spanish teaches you a lot about English that only bilingual people know. In this video we learn that."to.try".in English has many different translations in Spanish. This is because the words to try in English have many shades of meaning.

@elspanishdude 2 жыл бұрын

Yes! You are totally right. I've learned so much about English while learning and teaching Spanish. Crazy world!

@allthingscruisevideochanne9120 2 жыл бұрын

"To prove" used to mean "to test" in English as well. Have you heard the expression: "The exception that proves the rule"? This sounds confusing now, as something that is an exception to a rule does the opposite of "prove it." However, in the origin of the expression, as "prove" means "test", it makes a bit more sense. Thank you, Jordan! Love your unique take on language learning and your entertaining videos.

One German word for try is "probieren" so sometimes I have probar jumping into my Spanish when it shouldn't even though they mean the same thing. Fortunately they also have versuchen which means intentar but, since they don't sound similar, my stupid brain hasn't connected them yet.

Hello sir . Nice explanation. I have a question. In the sentence: She named her Alisha. Why does the spanish translation say" la nombrò Alisha" and why not " le nombrò Alisha". Why is "her" in this sentence a direct object ?, because in the sentence "I buy her food", her is an indirect object pronoun. I hope you answer.

But returning to her comment, there is a fact that in English language im many cases is simpler than Spanish for sure. we do have gender, extra articles and plenty meanings of words depending on context and so on...

ALSO cant possibly be referring to the learner as we all know that the language is poor on none and this is the reason it needs learning... so it leaves the teacher as she say whos english is ALSO not that good. clearly reference to a teacher... Maybe a sarcasm instead of saying Spanish she changed the language to say it. maybe because he asked about pinchar?? not sure... hope she reads and explains. ? lest wait
