Spanish translation?

in spanish, do u use the same word to say "to find" and "to meet" cuz i'm using a translation site and it says they are both said as "encontrar" is this true?Spanish translation?
Yes, in Spanish the words "to find" and "to meet" both translate to "encontrar".



Your examples would translate as:



él acaba de encontrar a alguien por la primera vez.



él encontró su sombrero.



The word "encontrar" is used to mean "to meet" when you're saying something like "My friend and I meet for lunch every Thursday." I believe that the word "buscar" would be used to mean "to meet (a new person)", but I'm not positive. Encontrar definitely means to find (a word with a similar meaning is "buscar" which means "to look for" - not to be confused with "mirar" which means "to look at / to watch")
Yeah its true



I've only taken 2 years of spanish class so I'm not an expert by any means but I'm am pretty sure on this one. (Like 100% sure)Spanish translation?
yesSpanish translation?
yeah
Yes ma'am
yes it is
thats what we used for both in my spainish class
yea
Yes may spanish words are like that, Spanish is hard but it will get easier after every day and if you study you will be sure to be very good at it. If you speak Spanish to people every day or go to spain you will be very fluent in speaking spanish.
yeah its the same. spanish is complicated, but english is too
yes there the same its how u use them tho like estar
si it is true lol si means yes
depending on the sentence.... but most of the time, yes
yea.. i though it was weird 2 but w.e .. we have the same thing in english 2 so u cant blame them!
TO FIND- A ENCONTRAR

TO MEET- A CONOSER (? DO NOT KNOW HOW 2 SPELL)
yupp its truee



Good Luck:]

Spanish sucksss
to find in spanish would be buscar,..... which also means to look for
Yes
Yes, it's true. I speak spanish, english, french, and greek. Encontrar is definetly that way to say both of those things. TRUST ME!!!
meet someone for the first time is conocer so depends how you want to use it.
yes, don't worry we all get mixed up in spaish. i takin spanish and it really hard but encontrar is "to find" or "to meet"
Encontrar means both, but it is used as "to meet" more often.
i use "buzcar" "encontrar" isnt a word. "encontree" means found
Yes, they are right. Good luck with the rest!

true
No it isn't.



Encontrar means to meet, like "i met my friend at the park" and it means to find like "i found my keys"

Conocer is to meet someone for the first time and to know someone.



www.wordreference.com is a good website for translating
si senyora
No. To meet someone for the first time is conocer.



Acabo de conocer a alguien por primera vez = I just met someone for the first time.



Mucho gusto en conocerte = pleased to meet you



The time you would use encontrar for meet is if you arrange a meeting somewhere with someone you already know. Meet you at the park.
