Qual è la differenza tra  fuera e afuera  and can u please give example sentences for both  ?

Ana90 · Answer

"Afuera" is used with "movement verbs".
-> Ir afuera
-> Salir afuera
-> Saltar afuera
-> Correr afuera
-> Caminar afuera
-> Andar afuera
-> Mover afuera
-> Lanzar afuera
-> Tirar afuera
-> Desplazar afuera

"Fuera" is used with the rest of the verbs that aren't of movement.
-> Estar fuera
-> Comer fuera
-> Hablar fuera
-> Estudiar fuera
-> Jugar fuera
-> Trabajar fuera
-> Comprar fuera
...

Do not to confuse "afuera" with "afueras"(outskirts), they are two different things.

@Parag_Sabnis Keep in mind that "afuera" means "to/towards the outside". You can't use no-movement verbs with this one like "to study towards the outside" because it makes no sense, however, on the other hand you can use a movement verb with "fuera" if you want to say "to do a movement outside" instead of "to do a movement towards the outside".

For example, you can say:
- Correr fuera = To run outside. (this means that you're running by the outside part/area of some place)
- Correr afuera = To run outside. (this means that you're running towards the outside part/area of some place, you're going out)

@Parag_Sabnis Yes, it can mean that as well.

@Parag_Sabnis 
Comprar fuera can mean buy out a company?
-- Nope. It would mean "to buy outside home" only, to the store, the shop, the mall, the market... those places that are in your town or city. 
To buy out a company would be "adquirir/comprar una compañía/empresa".

Trabajar fuera can mean work out as in a gym?
-- Nope. "Work out (in a gym)" is "hacer ejercicio" or "entrenar" in Spanish.

--> Estoy estudiando/trabajando fuera.
This can mean both:
- I'm studying/working abroad.
- I'm studying/working outside (the place I was before, wheteher it is my house, my office or a cafe...).

The reference point depends on the context, as in English. 
In order to avoid confusion, "I am studying/working abroad" is commonly said "Estoy estudiando/trabajando en el extranjero" too.

--> Siempre compro la fruta fuera de este mercado.
- I always buy fruit outside of this market.

@Parag_Sabnis No problem :D

lo que = what

que = that

- Esto es lo que quiero = This is what I want.
- Lo que importa es lo que dije = What matters is what I said.
- Eso no es lo que pedí = That's not what I ordered.
- ¿Qué es lo que pediste? = What's what you ordered?

- Ella dice que no tiene tiempo = She sais that she has no time.
- Esas son las manzanas que compré = Those are the apples that I bought.
- Lo que dije es que no quiero ir = What I said is that I don't want to go.

The "lo" in "lo que" can be understood as "the thing", so "lo que" wuld be "the thing that".

- Esto es lo que quiero = This is what I want. / This is the thing that I want.

@Parag_Sabnis I guess that's because I'm an occasional Spanish teacher and I'm here just for fun XD I'm glad you find my explanations useful. I'll keep helping you as much as I can :D Though I'm not here everyday, if someone asks me specifically, sometimes my replies might take some days

Ana90 · Answer

@Parag_Sabnis Hmmm maybe in English it isn't natural to say "What is what you ordered?" but it can be said maybe like "What is the thing that you ordered?"
-- What is (qué es) the thing that (lo que) you ordered (pediste)?

"What" in the beginning of a question (the interrogative "what") is "qué" in Spanish (the interrogative "qué", which has an acute accent).

@Parag_Sabnis That's wonderful. I've been in Barcelona only one day in my life lol I prefer my city, Madrid, but nothing is as incredible as the north (Asturias especially). Well, every single province in Spain is a different world with different food, dialect, art, music, wheather, nature... it depends on what suits you ("depende de lo que vaya contigo")

@Parag_Sabnis 
Well, the lesson about "se" is quite long and complicated. I recommend you to read these two websites, because all they explain there is the same I'd explain to you, and it's better than doing a copy-paste lol
https://www.thoughtco.com/introducing-se-spanish-3079357
https://blania.co/uses-se-spanish/

Those examples you wrote aren't impersonal "se", but reflexive "se", which means that the subject does the action to/by himself.

"Se le perdieron las llaves" -> is the same as -> "Se perdieron sus llaves"
- Se le perdieron las llaves = His keys got lost
That "le" indicates that the keys belong to him (if it were "me", then those keys belong to me, and "te" to you, and "nos" to us...)
And that "se" indicates that the keys got lost by themselves. No other person/animal/object lost the keys.

"Se te quemó el arroz" -> is the same as -> "Se quemó tu arroz"
- Se te quemó el arroz = Your rice burned
That "te" indicates that the rice belongs to you.
And that "se" indicates that the rice got burned by itself. No other person/animal/object burned the rice.

If you want to say it in a way that those objects don't belong to anybody, you just have to omit those "le" and "te".
- Se perdieron las llaves = The keys got lost
- Se quemó el arroz = The rice burned

This website offers a more complete explanation but you need to create an account to see all the content. I think it's free. They explain it really well. You can see the video they made.

Ana90 · Answer

@Parag_Sabnis No, no. "Se me perdieron las llaves" means "My keys got lost", not "I lost my keys". She's saying that her keys got lost by themselves. They were hers, but she didn't lost them, they got lost.

Ana90 · Answer

@Parag_Sabnis Is it your rice got burnt
- Yes, I explained it in my previous reply with the links. Please check them out, they're very useful.

A polite way of saying even tho she knows your the culprit
- Don't pay much attention to what she said, that thing about saying it that way to avoid the blame is just stupid. In English, in French and in many other languages this is used too. "My keys got lost", "Your rice burned"... they're normal daily phrases when something happens by accident.

Ana90 · Answer

@Parag_Sabnis "Se me da bien" is a special expression, different from the other uses of "se".

AuCo47 · Answer

Hi !

To say "fuera" and "afuera" it's the same thing. The meaning is exactly the same and you can use always "fuera" or "afuera".

The only thing you have to look out is that when you write "afuera" you never ever can put before the preposition "a": Me voy a afuera (this is wrong) but Me voy a fuera or Me voy afuera (it's correct!)

Hope it helps!
