Episode 47: Reflexive Verbs, Part 2

As we continue this 3-part series on reflexive verbs, today we will begin looking at how making a verb reflexive can sometimes significantly change its meaning. At times, this change is subtle, such as preguntar vs. preguntarse, and other times it can be big enough to be a potential social blunder, like with dejar vs. dejarse. In today's episode, we'll focus on examples where the change is subtle.

Remember, learning a language is a lifelong journey.
