"The cat walks."

Translation: O gato caminha.

[Ethan_K]

Are andar and caminhar two ways to say "walk" or are they two different verbs with slightly different uses?

[brenosakaguti]

"Andar" is all forms to move by foot that aren't running. "Caminhar" is more like take a stroll or something

[peterjoel58]

Why not a gata?

[Paulenrique]

It should also be accepted.

[peterjoel58]

a previous discussion said that caminhar is used for humans walking, and andar is anything walking. But, now I am guessing that this is not correct.

[Paulenrique]

"caminhar" and "andar" can be used interchangeably.

[peterjoel58]

OK, thanks

Is the literal meaning for andar to go, and for caminhar to walk? And is it actually possible to look up vocabulary within this app?

[Paulenrique]

"Andar" and "caminhar" can be translated as "to walk". To go = ir.
