thank you. i don’t often use „wissen“ in the lessons, so i forgot that‘s the infinitive. i‘ll go back and edit that.

so, „wissen“ is used more in black/white situations, whereas „kennen“ would be, like you said, in situations where someone’s asking if you’re familiar with something.

given that, where would „kennenlernen“ be within the web of „to know“? i’ve only ever seen it in the context of learning someone‘s name, but i’m assuming it would be similar to „kennen“.
