To be loved

Question

I read this as: 'sentirnos amadas' - is this the most common way to say 'to be loved'?

This is the whole sentence:

En cambio, amar y sentirmos amados nos produce auténtica felicidad.

On the other hand to love and to be loved brings true happiness.

Answer 1

To be loved is ser amado

to feel loved is sentirse amado

En cambio, (al contrario) amar y ser amado produce auténtica felicidad.

On the other hand to love and to be loved brings true happiness.

I hope this helps

Answer 2

Therefore can I say, - Quiero ser amado. = I want to be loved.

Cuando recibo amor. =When I receive loving.

Ahora me siento querido. = I now feel loved.

Would someone please correct my Spanish . - ray76, Nov 1, 2010

Answer 3

I think sentir amado/a is to feel loved, and to be loved is ser amado/a, but in your example they seem to be used as equivalents.

I think to be loved is Ser amado - FELIZ77, Nov 1, 2010
