Questions & Answers about Esa película me aburre un poco.

Why is it esa película and not ese película?

Because película is a feminine singular noun, so the demonstrative has to agree with it.

• esa película = that movie
• ese libro = that book

So esa matches película in gender and number.

What is me doing in the sentence?

Spanish is structuring this as That movie bores me a little.

So:

• Esa película = the thing causing the feeling
• me = me
• aburre = bores

In English, learners often expect something more like I am a little bored by that movie, but Spanish very naturally uses the movie as the subject here.

Why is the verb aburre?

It comes from the verb aburrir, meaning to bore.

Here it is in the present tense, third person singular, because the subject is esa película, which is singular.

• Esa película me aburre
• Esas películas me aburren

So the verb agrees with película, not with me.
