I have trouble to know the differences between ‘experimentar’ and ‘provar’. Do they both mean ‘to try, to experiment, to test’? Are they synonymous? Are they used in different ways or situations?
@jjportugal2020, provar is usually just about tasting something. There are limited contexts outside of food where the verb is also commonly used in the sense of trying something (e.g. prova de guarda-roupa → costume fitting). Experimentar, on the other hand, is a very broad term and applies to any context where you’re trying something, food included.
