Why muchas veces meaning often
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using vez/veces = time/times in Spanish"
Asked 1 year ago
Hola Kent
We use "muchas veces" to mean "often/very often" in Spanish. You can of course say "a menudo" which is also "often". The reason why we're using muchas veces here is because this test-question is linked to a lesson about vez/veces. Using the EN translation "many times" for this would sound very unnatural, this is why we translated it as "often" (which means the same).
I hope this clarified it.
Saludos
Inma
