Take the 2-minute tour ×  In German,    • das gleiche refers to
We both read the same (das gleiche) book (everyone has its own,
but they look exactly the same)    • while das selbe refers to
We both read the same book (one book, e.g. sharing, borrowing
your book to your friend, the same object)  Does this
differentiation exist in Spanish in contrast to English? I only
found lo mismo, which is translated as das selbe/gleiche in my
dictionary. Are there other adjectives that differ between the
same object/same kind of object? Or what is the shortest way in
Spanish to express this connotation?  share|improve this

difference in Spanish but I hope to be wrong =). –  dusan Nov 30
