I asked this question to a native speaker once (the "para" or "por" siempre) and I vaguely remember her saying you could use either version:

  • para siempre = Por todo tiempo o por tiempo indefinido. Te amaré para siempre

  • por siempre = Perpetuamente o por tiempo sin fin. Por siempre te amaré.

para siempre or por vida

Te amaré o Te querré para siempre. I believe it's para because your giving a deadline or in this case the lack of one.

Be aware there is a difference in querer and amar. Querer can be more friendly and used often amongst family even friends. While amar is a very strong feeling and usually used with a spouse or someone extremely special in your life. Subtle difference but is important when trying to convey the right idea.

  • Does "por siempre" exist?

Yes it does. It means "forever"

  • If so when is it used?

"Para siempre" means "forever", as in "for an indefinite quantity of time", "until the end of time". "Por siempre" means "forever", as in "a time without begining or end" We use "para siempre" as in "te odiaré para siempre" and "por siempre" as in "Dios ha existido por siempre".

-Querré y amaré seems like they are the same "I will love"

Yes, but "amaré" has a stronger meaning. "Quiero a mi perro" but "amo a mi hijo"

If you know mathematics, "por siempre" it's like the real axis and "para siempre" is only the positive real axis - comunacho, Mar 22, 2012
