Questions & Answers about Si una pregunta me resulta incómoda, lo digo con calma.
What does me resulta incómoda literally mean, and why not just say es incómoda?
Me resulta incómoda literally means something like “it turns out / comes across / works out as uncomfortable for me.”
- me = to/for me
- resulta = (it) turns out / proves to be / ends up being
- incómoda = uncomfortable (agreeing with pregunta)
Compared with es incómoda (“is uncomfortable”):
- es incómoda talks about the question as an objective fact: “the question is uncomfortable (in general)”.
- me resulta incómoda emphasizes my subjective reaction: “the question feels uncomfortable to me / I find it uncomfortable.”
This structure (me resulta + adjetivo) is very common in Spanish for personal reactions, similar to me parece + adjetivo (it seems … to me).
Why is incómoda feminine and not incómodo?
