Questions & Answers about Aún espero lograr mis metas de estudio.

Why is Aún used here instead of Todavía?

In many cases, Aún and Todavía can be used interchangeably to mean still. However, Aún can sound slightly more formal or literary. In everyday conversation, Todavía is more commonly heard, but both words carry the same meaning of continuing action or state.

What does espero mean in this context?

Espero comes from the verb esperar, which means to hope or to wait. In this sentence, it translates to the idea of I hope (rather than I wait). Context determines which sense of the verb esperar is intended.

Why is lograr used instead of other verbs like alcanzar or cumplir?

Lograr often implies achieving something through effort or skill. Alcanzar can also mean to reach or to achieve, but it sometimes focuses on the physical or figurative act of reaching a goal. Cumplir can mean to fulfill (like fulfilling an obligation). In this context, lograr fits nicely to convey accomplishing goals you’ve been working toward.

What does mis metas de estudio specifically refer to?

Mis metas de estudio means my study goals or my academic goals. The phrase de estudio describes the type of goals you have—ones related to studying or learning.

Is Aún always written with an accent mark?

No. Aun without the accent can mean even, akin to incluso. When it means todavía (still), we use the accented form Aún. Having the accent distinguishes the meaning more clearly, especially in written Spanish.
