📚 Etymology▼

'Llevar' comes from the Latin verb *levāre*, meaning 'to lift' or 'to raise.' This original idea of lifting something explains why the modern word means 'to carry' or 'to take something from one place to another.'

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does 'llevaré' sound like two different words when I hear it?

'Llevaré' uses the Spanish 'll' sound, which can be pronounced in a few ways depending on where the speaker is from. In many places, it sounds like the 'y' in 'yes' (ye-vah-REH), and in others, it sounds more like the 'l' in 'million' (lye-vah-REH).

How do I know if 'llevaré' means 'I will take' or 'I will wear'?

You look at the object! If the word after 'llevaré' is clothing (like 'vestido' or 'sombrero'), it means 'I will wear.' If it is an item being moved to a location (like 'maleta' or 'caja'), it means 'I will take/carry.'
