In the Spanish sentence, Tú queres mas a otros que a mi. Can I substitute the preposition "para" for "a"?

Question

Tú queres mas a otros que a mi. versus
Tú queres mas para otros que para mi.
Which is correct or sounds better and why?
Thanks

Answer 1

They totally mean different things just for changing 'a' for 'para'. So I guess the answer is that you can't substitute.

The first frase means 'You like/love others more than me.'
The second means 'You want more for others than for me.'

So which one is correct? It depends on what you want to say. If you want to tell another person that they care more about others than what they care about you, then the first one is correct.

Edit:

To me the frases are correctly spelled. In some countries you can say 'tu querés' instead of 'tu quieres'. Just be sure to put the mark on top of the 'e' and they'll mean the same thing.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Tú quieres más a otros que a mí.

If you say
Tú quieres más para otros que para mi
it would be

You love more for others than for me.

Answer 3

Tú quieres más a otros que a mí
You love others more than you love me.

Tú quieres más para otros que para mí
You want more for others than you want for me.

Answer 4

My heavens, I never have been flashed, but I did unintentionally flash a few folks once. I was in the hospital some time back and decided to take a stoll to the vending area. Well, I wasn't thinking about what I was wearing and, let's just say that those hospital gowns don't leave a lot to the imagination on the backside. The nurse came up from behind me and put a blanket over my shoulders . . . I was wondering why it was a little drafty back there!

Answer 5

Tu QUIERES mas A otros que a mi (notice my correction on QUIERE)
Mean: You want more OTHER people than me

Tu QUIERES mas PARA otros que para mi
Mean: You want more FOR other people than for me.

--------> I hope this can be useful!
Both sentences AREN'T THE SAME!!!
