Fragen über die Beispielsätze mit, und die Definition und Benutzung von "Usar"

A: It’s most used like the word “obtener” in Spanish

The next most common use for “get” is like “entender.”

A: “figure out”means to find the solution/answer to a problem or question. OR it could also mean to discover information (that was previously unknown)

this first example i’ll make is to demonstrate how it’s used in the context of finding a solution/answer to a problem or question:

i ask my friend: “Can you help me with this right now?”

friend: “no, sorry.. i wont be able to help you until later.”

me: “ok, thanks anyway…. i’ll figure it out”



now here’s an example of it being used in the context of *discovering* information.


friend: “my boyfriend is cheating on me..😭”


me: “Oh my gosh … i’m so sorry to hear that.. how did you figure that out?!!” *in this case “find out” would be more commonly used.. * but there’s still a possibility of it being interchangeable just depending on who’s speaking and what word they choose to use in that moment.

hope this helps!
