Questions & Answers about Me peso cada semana en la farmacia.
What does me peso cada semana en la farmacia mean?
It means “I weigh myself every week at the pharmacy.”
Why is pesarse used instead of just pesar?
Pesarse is a reflexive verb meaning “to weigh oneself.” Using the reflexive pronoun (me) indicates the action is performed on the subject’s own body. If you said peso, it would normally mean “I weigh [something else],” not “I weigh myself.”
Why do we place me before the verb instead of after it?
In conjugated present‐tense forms (like peso), Spanish places reflexive pronouns before the verb: me peso, te pesas, se pesa, etc. You only attach the pronoun after the verb when using infinitives (pesar → pesarse), gerunds (pesando → pesándose) or affirmative commands (pésate).
Can I say yo peso cada semana instead?
You could say it, but it changes the nuance. Yo peso literally states “My weight is…,” as in giving a number (e.g., Yo peso 70 kilos). To express the habitual action of weighing yourself, Spanish uses the reflexive form me peso.
Why cada semana and not cada las semanas?
