"Para" and "Por" are interchangeable and synonyms?

Question

How about "por hoy"?

Answer 1

Welcome to the forum!

They are not always interchangeable. They are both often translated as "for", which is why they are so often misused by beginners like us. You can find enough discussion about this very thing on the web that you could print it out, and use it to wallpaper your house. Here is a reference article on SpanishDict that may be helpful to you.

Good luck!

para — for, in order to — El regalo es para usted. The gift is for you. Trabajo para ser rico. I work in order to be rich.

por — for, by — Damos gracias por la comida. We give thanks for the meal. Fue escrito por Juan. It was written by Juan.

Es todo por hoy. Thats all for today

Then you mean we can have either "Eso es todo para hoy" and "Eso todo por hoy"! - gang, Feb 25, 2012
