Questions & Answers about El comportamiento del jefe le resulta chocante.
Why use resulta instead of parece in this sentence?
Why do we need the pronoun le here?
When resultar is used to express a subjective opinion, it structurally behaves like the verb gustar. The indirect object pronoun le tells us who is receiving the impression. The behavior isn't just shocking in general; it is shocking to her.
Does chocante mean shocking as in surprising, or something else?
It can mean surprising or startling, but in Latin American Spanish, chocante is also very commonly used to describe someone or something that is highly annoying, unpleasant, or irritating. The boss's behavior might simply be deeply off-putting to her.
If we were talking about multiple bosses, would resulta change to resultan?
