llama o se llama

Question

If I am giving the name of a restaurant do I use the reflexive?
Not sure if the restaurant calls itself..

El restaurant se llama Sundy House o
El restaurant llama Sundy House'

Answer 1

Yep, I have one with something like 5000 pages! Anyways, yes, se llama is correct. Its the same as with names:
Se llama Rodrigo - He calls himself (his name is) Rodrigo.

Answer 2

I know how you feel. When I see a new word, I open my dictionary and suddenly realise I know about 5% of its contents. It has over 2100 pages.

Answer 3

Good point.

Answer 4

As far as I'm concerned, they are all awkward. At times I think it's all coming together, and later my mind is so boggled that I think I'll never get past ¿Cómo está? I find it so hard to think quickly to carry on a conversation.

Answer 5

Just thought, El restaurante llama Sundry House indicates that the restaurante can speak and is calling "Sundy House".

Answer 6

You do love posing these awkward questions don't you.

Answer 7

Gracias Lucia

The restaurant calls itself Sundy House.

Answer 8

The correct way to put it:
El restauante se llama Sundy House.
