Frequently Asked Questions
Is it 'cacando' or 'cazando'?
It is always 'cazando' with a 'z.' In Spanish, the 'z' only changes to a 'c' before the letters 'e' or 'i.' Since 'cazando' has an 'a' after it, the 'z' stays put!
Can 'cazando' be used for fishing?
Not really. For fishing, Spanish uses 'pescando.' 'Cazando' is specifically for land animals or searching for things metaphorical like deals or people.
