Valer y Valorar

Question

Can someone help me distinguish these words. Or better said, confirm if my suspicions are correct. Valer- To be worth Valorar- To value a product at a amount Are these fair assumptions ?

My attempt with these assumptions:

Yo Valoro esta casa en $800,000 sino a el le vale mas de esta cantidad.

What I'm tryin to say:

I value the house at $800,000 but to him it's worth more than this amount.

Great question. - --Mariana--, Mar 19, 2013

Answer 1

Your use of "valorar" is correct. However, your use of "sino" is not.

Valoro esta casa en $800,000 pero para él vale más de esta cantidad.

Sino vs. Pero

There are not eight but (sino) nine apples.

He doesn't work for himself but (sino) for others.

I like monkey but (pero) not when they are angry.

I have a car but (pero) it's not working.
