Bedeutung
To go inside one's home.
Kultureller Hintergrund
It is common to say 'entrar en casa' without the article 'la' to refer to one's own home, treating 'casa' almost like a proper noun. The use of 'a' instead of 'en' is extremely prevalent. 'Entrar a casa' sounds more natural to most Mexican speakers. The concept of 'la casa' extends to the family. Entering the house is often synonymous with joining the family circle for the evening.
Drop the 'La'
When talking about your own home, you don't need 'la'. Just say 'Entrar en casa'.
Preposition Required
Never say 'Entro la casa'. Always use 'en' or 'a'.
