Questions & Answers about Não me sinto confortável com esta camisola de lã.
Why is it sinto when the infinitive verb is sentir-se?
The verb sentir-se (to feel) has a stem change in the present tense. For the "eu" (I) form, the e in the stem changes to an i, giving us sinto. The other singular forms keep the e, as in tu sentes and ele sente.
Why is the reflexive pronoun me placed before the verb (Não me sinto) instead of after it?
The English translation says "comfortable in", but the Portuguese sentence uses com. Why is that?
In Portuguese, you express being comfortable with an item of clothing, rather than inside it. Because of this, we use the preposition com (with) instead of em (in).
Why does the sentence use esta camisola instead of essa camisola?
Esta means "this" and is used for objects physically close to the speaker. Since the speaker is likely wearing the sweater right now, esta is the natural choice. If the listener were wearing it, the speaker would use essa (that).
