Did you know?
- The verb saber used in sabré is a cognate of the English word 'savvy'. Both terms evolved from the Latin word for 'taste' or 'flavor', linking the idea of 'knowing' to 'having a taste' for something.
- In Spanish, the verb saber can also mean 'to taste' when used in the third person, such as in sabe bien, meaning 'it tastes good'.
- While sabré refers to possessing knowledge, if you want to say you will know a person or a place, you must use the verb conocer instead.
