Conocer y Saber

Estudio 'conocer' y 'saber'. Éstos significas 'to know' en Inglés.
¿Cómo uso correctamente?


I studied 'conocer' and 'saber'. Both of them mean 'to know' in English.
How can I use these verbs properly?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Saber: refers to intellectual knowledge. Used when you want to refer to something abstract, for example the method to solve problem, a concept/definition, etc

Conocer: refers to "know something". Used when you want to refer to something that exist physically, for example a place, an object, a road, etc. (BTW, places also refers to things like "the world of my dreams" that don't exist physically but still use "conocer")

 For example:

I know how to solve an equation > Yo se como resolver una equacion.

I know Japan pretty well > Yo conozco Japon muy bien

A good example to differentiate both usages are:

I know how japan is > Yo se como es Japon.
Yo conozco Japon*

I know what a ruler is > Yo se lo que es una regla. (in this case we refer about the object as its definition)

 Yo conozco lo que es una regla (in this case we'll refer to the object as an object)

Normally we'll prefer the former rather than the latter.

Take into account that those are somehow general rules but out there you'll find some cases that may defy those rules.

*Also using “conocer” means a deeper understanding about the thing we're referring to.

Take into account that those are somehow general rules but out there you'll find some cases that may defy those rules.

Hope that helps, feel free to message if you got a doubt.
