i would like to say "awaken my soul" in spanish. when i put "awaken" into the spanish/english dictionary "despertar" comes up. but i do not want to say "to awaken" only "awaken" what is the difference?

Hi Laura, great question. Please capitalize the I in your sentences, because we have Spanish speakers here learning English too. Looking forward to seeing what answers you get. - Lrtward, Sep 13, 2010

Answer 1

Welcome to SpanishDict.

If you let us know the entire sentence we will be able to help you with the context. As it is now, we don't know if this is a statement, a wish, or a command. We don't know if something outside of you awakened your soul, or if it was an internal insight. All of this makes a difference, believe it or not!!

Answer 2

HI Laura, I guess you are not intersted in using correct spelling, so be it, this thread is closed.

Answer 3

HI Laura, please use correct spelling on this site, thanks.

Is this supposed to be a command?

I'm just curious as to why we have to use correct spelling. - ambie18, Sep 13, 2010

Answer 4

it is for a tattoo. the tattoo was inspired from some traveling that i've done this summer. it is to remind myself to live life only to feel alive. "awaken my soul" is just a poetic way of saying this. that is the whole sentence. something outside of me is what is allowing my soul to be awoken, an experience. does this help?

Answer 5

yes its a command
