Nada and Nada

Question

There is a problem, that confuses me.

Nada and Nada

The reason is because nada means, nothing. But if you were to conjugate the verb nadar (to swim) and make it the nada conjugation... how could you tell the difference?

Just add él, ella, or usted in front of it to make it the verb?

Answer 1

¿Qué le dijo un pez a otro pez? Nada.

The point of this is that it is normally so obvious from context, that when it isn't, it's a joke. ;) - bosquederoble, Apr 6, 2014

Answer 2

Context. It will tell everything you need to know

Answer 3

The same way we distinguish our homophones when speaking, context :D

Answer 4

De nada means "don't mention it" and is used when somebody thanks them for something. 'Nadar' means to swim.

Because of the completely different meanings of the word, it is rare that one would mix them up, but be careful when using google translate because the translator can be inaccurate with these types of words.

Answer 5

Nada nadar Just context in all honesty.
