Questions & Answers about Este sofá es muy cómodo cuando quiero estudiar sin sentirme aburrido.
Why do we use este instead of ese before sofá?
Este typically refers to something close to the speaker, while ese refers to something a bit farther away. Since you’re talking about a sofa near you or in your immediate environment, este is the appropriate choice.
What is the role of muy in muy cómodo?
Muy means very, and it modifies the adjective cómodo (comfortable). It amplifies the adjective to show a higher degree of comfort, so muy cómodo means very comfortable.
Why is cómodo in the masculine form here?
Sofá is generally a masculine noun in Spanish (el sofá). Adjectives must agree in gender with the nouns they describe, so cómodo is in its masculine form to match sofá.
Why do we say sentirme aburrido instead of sentir aburrido?
Spanish often uses sentirse (a reflexive verb) to talk about how you feel. The me in sentirme indicates that you’re talking about your own state of feeling. Simply saying sentir aburrido is not the usual structure for personal feelings in Spanish.
Why does aburrido end in -o rather than -a?
Since aburrido is describing the speaker (who is presumably male or using masculine form here), it stays in the masculine form. If a female speaker wants to indicate she’s bored, she could use aburrida.
