Every day feels the same. Can you use se siente in this context?

Question

Cada dia es exactamente igual que el anterior, no hay razón para sonreir. Cada día se siente peor que el anterior, no hay razón para discutir. Creo que he tenido suficiente.

• Cada día se ve peor que el anterior
• Cada día me parece peor que el anterior

Here's hoping that se siente can work as a mirror of se ve, Gracias.

wouldn't it be "every day* feels the same" - princessjane, Jul 24, 2010

Answer 1

Jeezzle, they all look good to me.

If you want to make the last sentence rhym on the last word like the other sentences do, how about something like: "Al fin de todo ya es suficiente, pués prefiero morir."

I know, It's a bit dark, but it´s metaphoric.

perfect. - jeezzle, Jul 24, 2010

"morir", only one "r" I agree with this take. Says it all. - Gekkosan, Jul 24, 2010

Answer 3

"Cada día se siente ..."

Surely, this does not mean that each day is better/worse/the same but, rather that the person being spoken about feels ... with each passing day. Nor, I think, is there any implication that the day(s) are anything more than the measure of the passing time. Just as if one says "He's getting weaker/stronger by the hour ." There is no indication that the hour is the cause of the change.

Answer 4

Well, firstly, how can every day be equal, and then every subsequent day be worse? That's mathematically . . . crazy.

It's a metaphor. - jeezzle, Jul 24, 2010

Also, it says every day "feels worse" than the last. Not that it is techinically in worse shape. - jeezzle, Jul 24, 2010

Of course it is, but it also says :exactamente: igual. - hseminati, Jul 24, 2010

one is a feeling how are you getting that? - jeezzle, Jul 24, 2010

If you analyze it, I guess I get what you're saying. It's just odd right off the bat. - hseminati, Jul 24, 2010

Answer 5

Cada dia es mejor que que el dia anterior,

Every day is better than the day before.

not what I want to say. - jeezzle, Jul 24, 2010
