Questions & Answers about Me da igual el color.
Why is the verb da instead of doy if I am the one who doesn't care?
Expressions with dar for emotions or reactions work a lot like the verb gustar. The actual subject of this sentence is el color. Literally, the sentence is saying "The color gives the same to me." Because el color is doing the giving, we use the "it" form of the verb (da), and you are just the receiver (me).
The lesson focuses on dar + noun (like dar miedo), but is igual a noun here?
No, igual is an adjective that translates to "equal" or "the same." However, the phrase dar igual is a very common set expression that functions just like the dar + noun reactions you are learning. It literally means "to give equal," but it is used to express that you do not care or that something makes no difference to you.
If I didn't care about "the colors" (plural), would I say Me dan iguales los colores?
Can I put el color at the beginning of the sentence?
