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)
The explanation says we always have to use the definite article with the activity. The example given there is tennis:...se me da bien al tenis. But in the quiz the correct response is "No se me da bien arreglar cosas". Is arreglar cosas not an activity? We have to actively arrange things/matters.
Thank you,
Sheila
¿Por qué se usa 'habré de necesitar' en vez de 'necesitaré'?
I need to understand why "play with their telephones" can't be translated as "juegan con sus telefones." (My keyboard is giving me trouble on making accents so please note I understand telefones would normally have one.) Thanks!
What did you mean when you wrote the tip "The full set of six forms is used with the past participles of another verb to form another tense, El Futuro Perfecto, for example..."?
I'm a little confused on what you mean by that, so if you can please explain it to me or give an example, I would greatly appreciate it.
Hello.Is it correct to say as in the example above No había ninguna persona a quien pudiera pregunter?
Damm!
I don't understand this one below
poco a poco is an adverb
I answered me siento but was wrong
________ que te alejas de mí poco a poco. answer SientoI feel that you are drifting away from me little by little.could you offer an explanation to this pleaseSilvia replied to Marcus G
'So, in essence:
Use "sentir" for stating what you feel physically or generally.Use "sentirse" when expressing how you feel emotionally or internally.'i would have thought you couldn't physically feel someone 'drifting away'
which is why I used sentirse as it felt like an emotional situation
please clarify if possible
thank you

Is there any possibility of adding a speed control to these exercises? Once I understand the vocabulary, it'd be great to be able to progressively increase the speed for comprehension at street level.
