Which verb in Spanish means "to know" in the context of familiar knowledge?

  1. Descubrir

  2. Conocer

  3. Aprender

  4. Entender

The correct answer is: Conocer

The verb that translates to "to know" in the context of familiar knowledge is "conocer." This verb is used when referring to people, places, or things that one has personal experience with or is acquainted with. For example, you would use "conocer" when saying that you know someone personally or when you are familiar with a city or a culture. In contrast, the other verbs listed have different meanings. "Descubrir" means "to discover," which implies finding out something new rather than having prior knowledge. "Aprender" translates to "to learn," indicating the process of acquiring knowledge or skills rather than familiarity. "Entender" means "to understand," which involves comprehension rather than personal acquaintance. Thus, "conocer" is the most appropriate choice when discussing familiarity or personal knowledge of someone or something.
