Questions & Answers about Me conmueve mucho este reencuentro.
Why is the subject (este reencuentro) at the end of the sentence?
In Spanish, word order is very flexible. It is incredibly common to place the subject at the end of the sentence, especially with verbs that express an emotion or reaction (similar to how verbs like gustar or encantar work). You could perfectly well say Este reencuentro me conmueve mucho, but starting with Me conmueve puts the conversational emphasis squarely on the emotion.
Does conmover also mean "to move" as in moving to a new house or moving a table?
No, conmover is only used for being moved emotionally (to be touched). If you want to say "to move" a physical object, you use the verb mover. If you are talking about moving your residence to a new house or city, you use the reflexive verb mudarse.
Why is the verb spelled conmueve instead of "conmove"?
I always mix up este and esto. Why is it este reencuentro here?
Reencuentro is a masculine, singular noun. The masculine singular word for "this" is always este when it is directly modifying a noun. You only use esto as a neutral pronoun when referring to an abstract idea, a general situation, or something whose name you don't know (like asking "What is this?"). You never put esto right in front of a noun.
