Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

"pour" usually indicates an objective (usually translates as for/to)
"par" usually indicates a way (usually translates as by/through)

the thing is, those are prepositions
prepositions rarely have one single translation
instead, they're tools the language can use in various situations
rather than learning a word and where it fits, you'll more likely encounter new situations and learn you can use such and such preposition in that case

still, a number of them have pretty defined meanings
"dans", "sur", "pour", "par" all tend to convey a specific thing
you just can't translate everything directly like "to believe in" is not "croire dans"

Yeah
It’s just awkward sending the wrong one 😛 but I guess trial and error and observation work best

Par, like « par train »?

[idle acorn]

while possible, transports tend to use "à/en", while "par" would usually be for packages and stuff
couple exemples would be "par exemple", "écrit par tel auteur", "illuminé par une lampe torche" etc
