As Spanish native speaker 🇪🇸 They practically and grammatically mean the same things, but sometimes, we use them in different situations

As you speak with native Spanish speakers, you will notice that they also use another verb to say "to try to" / "to attempt". And that is the verb PROCURAR.

This might be useful, but when I explain the difference to other English speakers I explain it as you would use Probar in the same situations you could use “sample” in English.

Your channel is so helpful. Even on topics that I already think I'm proficient in, you still manage to teach me so many new things.

Thanks, Paul...I received Spanish for Dummies for Christmas from the wife, but this channel is my first go-to, of course.

I am spanish and I like a lot your videos. I am learning english instead of spanish, but helps a lot for a spanish to understand english grammar.

Para tratar de mejorar mi español, voy a probar las expresiones que nos enseñaste hoy…

I love your attention to detail!!@ gracias mi amigo

I always look forward to your lessons, even since I found your channel this past Spring. I find myself trying to say and write out your sample sentences before you display them to see how close I can get to yours. "La investigación científica trata de probar y validar nuevas teorías." is pretty close, so I was very pleased with myself. You have a special talent for weaving your past lessons into each of your videos (-cion cognates, today's "to attempt/try") while sprinkling in new topics (new use for "buscar"). I'm so glad I found your channel, and I hope you continue to post videos for the foreseeable future.

Well I guess this answers my question about using "me gustaría intentar" to oder food. I only started in November with spanish, now this will help a lot with using different verions of "to try". Thanks.

My wife doesn’t speak much Spanish but when I was explaining the difference between intentar and tratar de versus probar she immediately said ‘you mean as in probadores’? I’ll remember because of this.

But I think there’s a way the two (intentar and probar) can be used interchangeably. Well, I don’t know if it’s so common in Spanish but I’ve heard it once. It is “déjame probar a mí” meaning “let me try”…. But I’ve always used “déjame intentar” they are both good choices, so I just thought it was a good idea to drop it here. Merry Christmas Qroo 🎄🎁

Gracias y feliz navidad!!!!

I was able to get A New Reference Grammar Of Modern Spanish for Christmas upon request, being an avid viewer of your channel for some time now. Unfortunately I don’t think the person who bought it for me used the original link. Merry Christmas and thanks for the videos Qroo!

Thanks!

Excelente lección. Probaré el uso de probar tan pronto como sea posible. ¡Feliz Navidad!😊

Hey, Paul. Congratulations on reaching 100K! I've just noticed. Are you going to claim your Silver Award?

Me parece que todos mis comentarios casi sueñan iguales, pero lo voy a repetir otra vez. ¡Tus explicaciones son las mejores del mundo!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you and your family! Thank you for the video. This is a big help - verbs are not as fun to learn. LOL, I prefer nouns.
