🌿 DID YOU KNOW?
0/10
porque · por qué
Four versions, and you only need two
Two words with an accent, "por qué", asks the question. One word without, "porque", gives the answer. There are two more — "porqué" the noun and "por que" — but you can go years without needing either.
¿Por qué no viniste? Porque estaba lloviendo.
Why didn't you come? Because it was raining.
👍 hides it · 🤔 brings it back in a week · 👎 tomorrow
