"To bring" in Spanish: "Llevar" or "Traer"?

  • Learn fast and easy how to use the verbs "llevar" and "traer" in Spanish. Whereas in English you would say "to bring", in Spanish we use two different verbs. One, "llevar", is used when you want to take something from here to there (de aquí para allá). The other, "traer", is the opposite because you are taking that something from there to here. Aha! This is the difference between these two Spanish verbs. If you watch my lesson, you will learn these two verbs with examples, and details so you will not make mistakes. More importantly, if you are invited to a party, you will know which one you should use. Now, if you do not watch my lesson, then you are losing your opportunity to learn Spanish for FREE. Stop making excuses to learn Spanish. Be bilingual without spending one cent, with me, Butterfly Spanish, and start exercising your Latin mouth muscles :)

    I wish I had Anna for my Spanish teacher when I was in school. She makes learning fun, humorous and memorable. She is better than any of the "Apps" that are being touted as a simplified means of learning Spanish. Wonderful job, Anna, I look forward to engaging in your tutorials and feel both comfortable and confident in my ability to converse in Spanish. Besides....you have a cute personality too, which helps stay engaged. Thank you.

    This is great. I always thought 'llevar' and 'traer' had the same meaning and were interchangeable but now I know better. Also, it's easy to remember which one to use when if I think about the phrase 'para llevar' which has the meaning of ordering some food 'to go'. If you order 'to go' from a restaurant, you are always taking it with you - they're not bringing it to you, so it's 'llevar'. Thanks for the excellent lesson.

    This is a superb lesson (as always from Ana). I found that for me to remember the usage I think of from 'T'here --> Here is 'T'raer - i.e. Both start with the letter 'T' and once you know the scenario There-->Here then use Traer, else use llevar. This simplified the usage for me considerably.

  • @AugustHawk
    @AugustHawk Před 7 lety +55

    Actually, English does have two verbs that are similar to llevar and traer : bring and take. The difference between the use of these 2 words is the location of the speaker to the listener and the direction of which the action will be going. Here are some examples: Take your dog away, it is scaring my child. (Wouldn't say, "bring your dog away.") Take this coffee to the table in the corner. Thank you, for bringing my coffee. Teacher to student: Take your project home to finish and bring it back tomorrow.
    It seems similar rules apply to bring/take and llevar/traer. (Ooops, just saw djb1ge's comment. :) :)
