Pronombres reflexivos

Hello,

If I'd to say: "His name is Francisco, but we call him Paco", would it be right to say: "Se llama Francisco pero nosotros se llamamos Paco"?

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using the verb llamarse in Spanish in the present tense to say what someone's name is (Verbo reflexivo)"

Hola Ilia

Nearly, but not quite...

You'd say:

"Se llama Francisco pero nosotros lo llamamos Paco."

When you're using the verb llamar to "call somone..." the verb is not reflexive anymore, we are now having a direct object pronoun: lo (him) or la (her).

I hope this clarified it.

Saludos

Inma
