Questions & Answers about Vamos a salir a por el encargo ahora.
Why use a por here instead of just por?
In Spain, the combination a por is used after verbs of motion (like salir) to express the idea of fetching, retrieving, or going to get something. While speakers in Latin America would typically just say salir por el encargo, in Spain they combine the preposition of movement (a) with the preposition of purpose/target (por).
There are two a's close together (Vamos a salir a por...). Is this correct?
Yes, it is completely correct and sounds natural to natives. The first a belongs to the future tense formula ir a + infinitive (vamos a salir = we are going to go out). The second a is part of the fetching phrase a por, showing the direction of the movement.
What exactly is an encargo, and why not use orden for "order"?
An encargo is an errand or something you have requested someone to prepare for you, like a custom cake or items set aside at a shop. You could also use pedido (a commercial order or delivery). However, you shouldn't use orden here, as orden usually refers to a command, a rule, or organization (like alphabetical order), rather than purchased goods.
The translation says "go out for the order". Could this also mean "go out to get the order"?
