[romancelanguagehoe]

this is my first grammar post wooooo! so as the name implies, impersonal se is about general, impersonal things that don’t have a specific subject.

how to form it:

use se + él/ella/usted present tense of a verb (aka 3rd person singular)

that’s it!

when to use it:

when you want to make a general statement about a place: en brasil, se habla portugués/in brazil, they speak portuguese. (the most familiar one is probably “se habla español”/“we speak spanish”)

when you want to say what one should generally do/is necessary: se debe lavarse los dientes dos veces al día./you should brush your teeth twice a day.

when you’re talking about a general saying: se dice que esta casa está embrujada./it’s said that this house is haunted.

when you want to say what something is used for: se usa un lápiz para escribir./pencils are used for writing.

and when you want to ask how to pronounce or spell something: ¿cómo se pronuncia “tartaruga”?/how do you pronounce “turtle”?

other stuff:

in english, we would say this using a pronoun like you/they/one/we. but in spanish, there isn’t a real subject, so there is no pronoun.

it describes something in a general sense, not a specific one. so, a person isn’t asking how YOU specifically pronounce the word turtle, just how it’s pronounced in general. it’s usually translated as “how do you…” because it’s most commonly said like that in english.

aaaand if you think something needs to be added/corrected go ahead!

[spanishskulduggery]

Hellooo! I have a question regarding new approaches to gender neutral words, specifically words ending with e instead of o/a. I hadn't really considered this problem until I began to write with it (since phonetically it works), but it produces the same spelling problems as -car -gar -zar verbs. While people with decent spanish can recognize written 'busqué' as conjugated buscar, do you think written 'chique' would be understood as chico/a with an e?

I think it depends on your social circle. I think people would understand it in the right place but you’d also have people being like “that’s not a word” etc

But like amigue for gender neutral amigo/a would be understood

I think if I heard chique my mind would struggle just for a minute because I would be like “is that a foreign word? did I mishear?” but in the context of the whole sentence it would be pretty clear, especially if people are using things like elle or other more gender neutral language
