Questions & Answers about A juzgar por su historial profesional, encaja con el perfil profesional.
What does A juzgar por mean, and how is it used?
A juzgar por means judging by or to judge from.
It is a fixed expression used to introduce the basis for an opinion or conclusion:
- A juzgar por su historial profesional... = Judging by his/her/their professional history...
- A juzgar por su acento, es del norte. = Judging by his/her accent, he/she is from the north.
It is very common in both spoken and written Spanish and sounds fairly natural and neutral.
Why is it a juzgar por and not a different verb form?
Here juzgar is in the infinitive because the whole expression a + infinitive + por works like a set phrase.
So you do not normally change it to match the subject:
- A juzgar por...
- not A juzgo por...
- not A juzgando por...
You can think of it as similar to English judging by, except Spanish uses a + infinitive here.
What does su mean here? Is it his, her, your, or their?
