Hola mis amigos,

Can someone describe the difference between these two verbs? They both mean to walk, but I understand Andar is more figurative? Podrian ayudarme? Muchos gracias!

Ben

From Wordreference.com

Caminar: walk : exaclty walk

Pasear: to go for a walk: you can use "pasear" if you go walking with your dog also, you say "Fui a pasear al perro". From this verb, there is the word "paseo" which means trip.

Andar: walk: it means walk, but it can also be used when you want to express how the things are going: ¿Cómo anda tu trabajo? ¿Cómo andas? (how is your job going?, how are you doing?)
