No me soporta bien

Question

So I was at the store listening to this dude's conversation on the phone, and he was like "yeah that, "no me soporta bien" - " and it didn't sound right to me because I would say "no lo soporto bien". Why would you say "no me soporta bien"? It doesn't support me well? Maybe I'm overthinking it and he just meant It doesn't support me well and he meant his mattress or a chair or something. But I was thinking like, he can't bear it well, whatever it is. (no lo soporto bien)

Gracias.

Answer 1

No me soporta bien = He/she does not stand my presence very well (= he/she doesn't like me)

because I would say "no lo soporto bien"

= I do not stand that person very well

Oh I see it's like being "insoportable" - jeezzle, Jun 23, 2011

Answer 2

delete-no sense quoting the Master, when we can read his own words.

Did you read Lazarus' recent repy to using caber as a quasi gustar-like verb?

Me cae bien.

It appears to be the same analogy to me. The indirect object tells who is the affected by the verb (intransitive sentence-no d.o.)

No me soporta bien. It doesn't abide well with me sounds correct. (using 3rd person singular rather than 1st person, singular for the subject "it".

Q, it's caer, not caber. - Deanski, Jun 23, 2011
