Voy a comprarme

Voy a comprarme

Hello,

Please would you point me to a lesson or explain briefly why "voy a comprarme" is used rather than "voy a comprar".  Is it just clarification that I'm buying a house for me, rather than some random person, or is it absolutely needed?

Many Thanks

Hola Paul,

it is not essential; you could also say "voy a comprar "

This "se" is called "se aspectual" and it gives emphasis, but we will have a lesson soon about this function of "se".

Saludos
