Answer Question
saber vs conocer
there are 3 flashcards that try to show the distinction between saber and conocer. They are in Spanish Spain level 3, unit 27.
I thought conocer was used regarding knowledge of a person or place.
The first sentence is:
yo sé quién es or I know who it is. Shouldn't that be conozco instead of sé?
un hombre fue a su oficina hoy. sabe quién es? A man went to your oficie today. Do you know who he is?
alguien fue a su oficina un hombre que no conozco. someone went to your office a man that I don't know.
Here they use conocer. It seems like in all cases your talking about the specific knowledge of a man. Why are all 3 sentences not using concur?
This is a very well done program and I hope Fluenz will add levels 6-10 pronto!
