Answer Question
Sapere vs Conoscere
I thought I had Sapere (knowledge & info) and Conoscere (people & places) understood, until I reached Fluent 3 Part 29.
This phrase comes up,
non la conosco, tu sai chi è?
Why do use conoscere for me knowing her, but sapere when asking someone if they know her. I know the phrase is asking the person if they know information, but surely the information I am asking for is about a person, so why is it not;
non la conosco, la conosci ?
Anyone else struggling with this, or explain why ?
