Usage notes

  • Unlike most Spanish prepositions, según governs the nominative and not the prepositional case with pronouns. Thus:
  • según yo ― according to me
  • según tú ― according to you
  • Regional colloquial usage of the preposition según as an adverbial phrase when followed by que expresses evidential mood, indicating hearsay or non-commitment (meaning roughly "supposedly" or "it is said").
  • Según que tiene SIDA. ― They say that he has AIDS.
