How do you say "to look" in spanish?

I couldn't bold print the changes so I simply changed the h in How and added the quotes and the phrase "in spanish" with the question mark. :) - Jason7R, Nov 2, 2009

Answer 1

Here we go again. Due to lack of content in the question it can be,

Mirar, Buscar, Parecer, Cuidar, Vigilar, Considerar, Examinar, etc, etc, etc.

Answer 2

No offense but you people are answering this stupidly.

How can you start a sentence with "no offense" and then proceed to "offend" everyone who has answered. With all due respect, please try harder NOT to offend anyone in future and my advice was far from stupid.

Answer 3

Hi abijay

You are quoting with limited context and your example is more like seeking, not finding. Buscar can mean "to look for"

Examples:

Estoy buscando piso - I am looking for a flat

ÉL busca secretaria - he´s looking for a secretary

Answer 4

No offense but you people are answering this stupidly.

what are these?

1) look at... ie:(look at your facebook) is it mirar? 2) look for ... ie:( look for a car) is it buscar? 3) you look... ie:(you look good) is it ???

Meaning of vista?

Answer 5

Mirar

Answer 6

I no this sounds stupid, but if you look for the verb on here (spanishdict) it usually shos you what verb it is you need, then look for the verb on this website http://users.ipfw.edu/jehle/VERBLIST.HTm it shows you how to conjugate it in every way possible.

Hope this helps..

Hi Jason

I realised that, however, as others had already decided to answer I chose to highlight the content point a liitle more forcefully. Hence my happy smiley.

Absolutely, I hope you know that I wasn't trying to be rude or anything. :) I like your style!! - Jason7R, Nov 2, 2009

Answer 8

Buscar is to find, like searching on the internet.

Answer 9

Eddy, That was the exact point of my post. Sometimes if others would give a little (or a lot) more context as well as give a shot at an answer, their learning would definitely increase a hundred fold.

Answer 10

Jazmin, it depends on the context. There are other words for the infinitive "to look". The verb you gave is more used in "to seek" or "to look for". Just a thought.

Answer 11

Oh, beaten by Jázmin!

Answer 12

It is "Buscar".
