Usage notes edit

  • In Spanish and many other Romance languages, this verb originally only meant "to walk", but also later acquired the secondary sense of "being" (temporarily). In many cases, the verb can be used interchangeably with the principal verb for "to be (temporarily)" - in Spanish, andar can be used interchangeably with estar in informal situations, although estar is generally more widely used.
