Questions & Answers about El trato aquí me resulta extraño.
How is resultar acting differently here compared to its normal translation of to result?
In this sentence, resultar is used as an evaluative verb to express a personal impression. When paired with an indirect object pronoun like me, it works similarly to the verb to seem or to find. So, me resulta extraño translates best as I find it strange or it seems strange to me.
Since this sentence is about my own feelings, why don't we use yo?
In this structure, resultar functions like the verb gustar. The grammatical subject is actually El trato (the treatment), and it is conjugated in the third person singular (resulta). The pronoun me is the indirect object that shows who is experiencing this impression.
Could I just say El trato aquí me parece extraño instead?
I have seen trato used to mean a deal or an agreement. How do we know it means treatment here?
