What does "Porque sea igual" mean?

Question

Title has it all. I was confused at first, then I asked here, and got the answer that it means the same as if "para que" was substituted for "porque." Now, in a more recent question, I'm being told it actually means "because." In that case, why is the subjunctive used?

Halp.

Answer 1

If you want to use subjunctive sea, then para que should be used.

You can use porque if indicative es is used.

It's just that this is a in lyrics of the song "Se Acabó El Amor Remix - J Alvarez ft. Yelsid." With this one exception, the song uses perfect grammar. - SlimNm, Mar 19, 2014

I think in this instance por que = para que ( so that?) ?? - annierats, Mar 19, 2014

Somebody else on this site told me that it's "porque" without a space. Very confusing, lol. - SlimNm, Mar 19, 2014

Answer 2

Because it´s equal / the same.

You could have typed this in the translator and gotten an answer much faster.

As far as the subjective I can only guess that it´s because it is not matter of fact.

Answer 3

Well, there are four forms and seemingly my previous answer is wrong but here we are:

El uso de porqué, porque, por qué y por que

Porqué es un sustantivo (el porqué, es decir, la causa, el motivo); siempre va precedido del artículo (el) o de otro determinante (su, este, otro...). Admite plural : los porqués. Ejemplo: No explica nunca el porqué de sus decisiones.

Porque es una conjunción causal: introduce una oración subordinada que explica la causa de otra principal. Ejemplo: Lo he entendido porque me lo has explicado muy bien.

Por qué sólo se usa en oraciones interrogativas, directas e indirectas. Por es preposición y qué es un pronombre interrogativo. Ejemplos: ¿Por qué no has venido a la fiesta? (Interrogativa directa) No sé por qué se ha portado tan mal.(Interrogativa indirecta)

Por que se compone de la preposición por y del pronombre relativo que; se puede sustituir por "el cual, la cual", etc. Ejemplo: Fueron varios los delitos por que fue juzgado.

Answer 4

Let's make one thing clear: You don't separate Porque. It would be a grammar mistake to separate. And if you have a good Spanish Dictionary, you will see that it is a final conjunction similar to "so" or "so that." Examples:

                     Oremos porque nuestra hija regrese.

                     Let's pray so that our daughter comes back.

                      Let's vote so our country gets better.
                      Votemos porque nuestro pais mejore.

I don't think you will see these examples used that often. It seems to me that you can use this form only with the subjunctive and when there is no
verb involved in the sentence.

Answer 5

Slim, I looked up the lyrics, it's por que, not porque and it's part of a complex sentence making assumptions.

''por querer hablar y compartir un poco

te juro que yo haria lo que sea

y por que sea igual todo lo que vivimos

tu y yo daria lo que fuera''

Some sites say it's "porque" without a space. Regardless, it doesn't solve my problem, which is why is "por que" and not "para que" used? And can they be synonymous in this situation? I've posted this question to another site since I get conflicting - SlimNm, Mar 19, 2014

Well, songs, poetic licence..Learning grammar from lyrics is perhaps not the easiest method. But if it had said porque it would have been incorrect to use the subjunctive. - annierats, Mar 19, 2014

As Julian says. Porque is used in amore indicative type of sentence, this is a sentence that mapes suppositions, a sentence of what might be, not what is. - annierats, Mar 19, 2014

makes, I mean. - annierats, Mar 19, 2014
