OpenStudy (anonymous):

its so confusing thoguh can u tell me the difference

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. Conocer and Saber can be translated into the same thing in English.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, my mistake, the answer is saber.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It can be confusing because they're both the same thing if translated to English.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Conocer is like 'Yo conozco a Toni.'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To know someone.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would los turistas conocen las estaciones de esqui en chile be correct??

Hmm. Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is the other option 'saber'?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then yes, conocen would be right.
