Por qué means why. Porque means because ;)

Thats what i get for using google translate.

Thanks for correcting!

Por que?

Porque.

Por que?!

Porque.

¡Te pregunto quién sale primero!

(I don't know spanish)

And that's why we say "porque sí" and not just "porque". It'd be so confusing! :P

It's confusing enough, we actually have 4 different forms:

  • Porque (because)

  • Por qué? (why?)

  • (el) porqué: the reason why

  • Por (el/la/lo) que: I don't think this is used anymore without the article, but some linguist correct me please.

Most people don't know how to use the latter two, even I am still confused about the last one.

é é é é é feel free to take as many as you need
