grammer question - switching first and third person verbs
me llamó mentiroso = "he called me a liar" or (me he called a liar)
does
"él llamé mentiroso" mean the same thing/make sense? or would i sound like a foreigner?
Thanks,
Dillon

I guess that would mean "i called him a liar" wouldnt it?
No, it would not. It does not make sense.
"él" is a subject pronoun and cannot mean "him".
Le o lo llamé (a él) mentiroso. (lo or le depending on region-usually lo)
Yo creo que es esto..
This is just one way one could say it.
él me llamó un mentiroso= He called me a liar
"él me llamé un mentiroso"= "he i called me a liar." This is not grammatically correct. No tiene sentido.
Llamé= I called Llamó= He called
I guess that would mean "i called him a liar" wouldnt it?
