saber, verb:
to know
You’ll already know saber, one of the commonest words in Spanish. Today we’re looking at two special uses of it.
¿Qué sabes de Maribel?
Have you heard from Maribel?
Desde su fiesta no sé nada de ella.
I haven’t heard from her at all since her party.
If you want to ask about someone, or to say that you haven’t heard from someone, you use saber de, as in the examples above.
To say as far as I know, you use the subjunctive of saber, in the following construction:
Que yo sepa, no ha sido aún traducido.
As far as I know, it hasn’t been translated yet.
