    conas tá sibh, I was just going over some verbs and came across "candar" and "caminar" both of which, according to the book, mean "to walk", just curious as to whether there is any subtle difference between the two or are they just two different ways of saying the same thing? The book im using uses the spanish used in spain but throws in a few points here and there as to differences between spain and latin america

    Honestly ive never heard anyone use "candar" as a means of expressing "caminar", maybe its old Spanish or regional ive never heard of it anyway, candar means to unlock. "Pasear" is to go for a walk, as in a walk in the park, you could also use "andar" as a means of expressing to walk.

    IMO scrap "Candar", and maybe that book :pac:

    ha thought that was a bit strange! anyway they are basically the same thing "to walk" no sutitle difference, "pasear" is "to go for a walk" thats the difference between it and the other two.
