Lo que sea por / para inf.

Question

A mi me suenan bien ambos

Lo que sea por ayudar, para ayudar o cualquiera inf.

Gracias.

Answer 1

Correcto, pero hay una pequeña diferencia.

Lo que sea por comer = anything as long as I eat

Lo que sea para comer = anything to eat.

EDIT:

Blockquote Jeezzle: Lo que sea por ayudar = anything to help, from the context, not anything as long as I help as far as I could tell.

Donaré lo que sea para ayudar = I will give whatever to help

Haré lo que sea por ayudar = I will do whatever to help/ I will do whatever as long as I help.

This is one of those which you have to get accustomed by reading a lot.

Answer 2

This is what I see.

Lo que sea por ayudar - Anything you need to help

Lo que sea para ayudar - I'll do anything I have to in order help you, whatever you need I'll do, no matter how far.

Lo que sea por ser tu novio - anything you ask as long as I end up as your boyfriend (do your chores etc...)

Lo que sea para ser tu novio - anything to be your boyfriend, including killing your current boyfriend and then consoling you.

Right? Por / para. Por - for you. Para - for me.

Answer 3

I don't get it. Just with comer and otherwise they are the same?

Lo que sea por ayudar = anything to help, from the context, not anything as long as I help as far as I could tell.
