ways to say "get"

Question

Can you explain how to use "conseguir" "lograr" and "obtener" How do they differ?

Answer 1

When I want to better understand the nuances of Spanish words, I often use a special dictionary called Linguee.com, by looking at how these words are used in real articles, I get a better sense of their usage scenarios.

Answer 2

Conseguir and lograr have a very strong nuance of desire and effort to achieve / reach something.

Obtener suggests more to acquire/earn something in a deserved way, and also means to obtain.

Answer 3

Spanish is just like English and has synonymous verbs, ie verbs having the same meaning. From what I understand Conseguir and Lograr are interchangeable in most cases, ie To achieve or Obtain. Obtener, however, is more to receive. No doubt a native will supply a more detailed explanation.
