Como una fresa?

Question

Does "Como una fresa" I eat a strawberry, make sense? I ate a strawberry, or I'm eating a strawberry would make sense, but como una fresa doesn't make sense...

Answer 1

Like everything else, it depends on the context.

Cada día como una fresa con mi cereal por el desayuno.
Every day I eat a strawberry with my cereal for breakfast.

Esta candela huele como una fresa.
This candle smells like a strawberry.

Answer 2

The present tense in Spanish has several forms (aspects) I eat, I am eating, I do eat,

I am eating a strawberry is correct for Como una fresa.

If you need to emphasize the action is happening at this moment use the present continuous form.

Estoy comiendo una fresa.

Answer 3

como=like (in this case)

fresa=strawberry or it could be Mexican slang for a girl with upper-class pretensions (vaguely similar to being a "Valley-girl" or an "uptown-girl)

Definetly going for the strawberry haha - Tormenta, Oct 1, 2010
