sentir or sentarseedith E posted one year ago
Sentir or sentirse questionWhy is “I feel like an idiot dressed up like a clown” reflexive? Idiot is a noun. I had this question on a quiz.
I had difficulty with the use of sentir/sentirse
Thank you Marcus G C1 for this "When you have como+noun, use the refexive.
Nos sentimos como dos idiotas después de la estafa." we felt foolish after the scam; foolish being an adjective
I was so confused
after looking at Spanish dictionary I decided that the use of como un idiota translates to foolish - an adjective, even though un idiota is a noun
Eres un idiota - you are an idiot (noun)
Estás actuando como un idiota - you are being ridiculous (adjective)
My understanding of reflexive verbs is that the subject performs the action on itself, so the subject is also the direct object. With “perderse algo”, are there 2 direct objects as in “Nos lo perdimos.” with the objects “us” and “it”?
I answered ‘quizá me esté enamorando’ and the suggested corrections were ‘quizás’ (even though I know they’re interchangeable) and ‘estoy’. From what I understand the indicative and subjunctive are interchangeable after quizás - so just want to clarify if my answer is acceptable or if something is off about it?
Can you please speed up and make the replay of these writing exercises with more natural and less stilted voice? The accent is great but the replay sound unnaturally slow.
I was a little surprised at the sentence "Los estudiantes juntamos...". I would have expected it to be "Los estudiantes juntan..." as los estudiantes is 3rd person plural. Is it "juntamos" because the speaker is counting himself amongst them? i.e. "We, the students, are collecting..."
¿Cómo se traduce esta frase en negativo?: Pienso que el alcalde debería tener un salario más bajo.
No pienso que el alcalde ???
¡Muchas gracias!
Buenas tardes Silvia ( o Inma),
I answered this Kwiziq test today:
Tú saldrías bien parada de tu divorcio". In contexto here, does it mean 'alright' as in 'well-off financially'?
Can it be used with other meanings? I haven't seen this before... but I really love finding new words/phrases/idioms to add to my big notebook! Which I have to say is not a digital notebook, since I find that I register and remember things much better if I actually write pen to paper. Perhaps it's an 'age thing' jajaja!
Gracias de antemano 😊
Claudia siempre le añade mucha sal a la comida. Should this translate to Claudia always adds a lot of salt to HER food and not Claudia always adds a lot of salt to food.
Carmen piensa que eres un cobarde. -________. -Carmen thinks you are a coward. -Well, its not like she isn't one as well.(HINT: This is expressing an ironic reproach)Como si ella no lo fuera
