How did I end up attached to this person?

Question

How did I end up attached to this person? When her sense of humor seems gradually worsened?

Así que, como me encuentro metido con esa persona? Cuando su sentido de humor se hace peor.

I know it's wrong but it's late and I'm tired. Gracias.

for "attached" I'd use "ligar"....ligado con esa persona. - lagartijaverde, Sep 3, 2010

Answer 1

If you'd like some piece of advice... I wouldn't say "me encuentro metido con esa persona" because "meterse con alguien" means to insult that person, to pick on them. I would rather say something like "estar unido" or, as you also have "end up" in the sentence, you could translate it in the Spanish version and transform "attached" to "con". It wouldn't be the same word, but it would have the same meaning to say "¿cómo acabé con esta persona?" (which now I realise could have a double meaning saying "how did I kill this person?" although context makes it clear) or simply "¿cómo acabé junto a esta persona?".

In the second sentence, you could use the verb "empeorar" if you like (which means "hacerse peor") and introduce "gradually" as "gradualmente", although it's perfectly correct now.

I agree. - lazarus1907, Sep 3, 2010

Well, it's a song so I like how "humor" and "peor" rhyme, but I would like to introduce gradualmente. So there is no way to make "encontrarse" work in there? Como me encuentro, should be "como acabé junto a......."? - jeezzle, Sep 3, 2010

Answer 2

For "when her sense of humor...", I might consider using ya que (now that).

Ya que su sentido de humor...

I got this when looking up in light of the fact that over at wordreference.com.
