From the video: ''me hace preocupado'' is wrong. It should be: ''me preocupa''.

I thought, "Me hace preocupada" would be correct.
I don't think this works. You could say:
- Me preocupa. (It worries me.)
- Me preocupo por eso. (I worry about it.)
- Me hace sentir preocupado/a. (It makes me [feel] worried.)

That last one, however, I would say is not commonly used. - gintar77, Jun 28, 2011
Good answer. I think you're right. So, is the video wrong? - SonrisaDelSol, Jun 28, 2011

Ha, I should probably have watched the video first. I thought it was referring to "usted". - gintar77, Jun 28, 2011
She sounds like a native, so I am hesitant to say it is wrong. - gintar77, Jun 28, 2011
I know! Ah! - SonrisaDelSol, Jun 28, 2011
I would have most likely said "Me pone preocupado" if I were to keep the same construction. - gintar77, Jun 28, 2011
Yes, I was thinking that, too! Me pone nerviosa...Me pone preocupada... - SonrisaDelSol, Jun 28, 2011

I thought, "Me hace preocupada" would be correct.
Hace = makes
Me = me
Preocupada = anxious, concered
Me + hace + preocupada = makes me anxious

Word by word translation in this example doesn't work. I have never heard "Me hace preocupado/a". (I'm from Mexico currently living in Europe with a lot of friends from Spain). - franciscojavier, Jun 28, 2011
Ok. So, the video is incorrect? http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/incertidumbre - SonrisaDelSol, Jun 28, 2011
In that case, it could be: "me hace preocuparme".. I think the problem is that "hacer" needs a verb afterwards, not an adjective. For example: "me hace soñar" "me hace sentir", etc. - franciscojavier, Jun 28, 2011
SonrisaDelSol, in my opinion, the video is wrong. - franciscojavier, Jun 28, 2011
I think you may be right, amigo. Great catch. Welcome to SpanishDict! - SonrisaDelSol, Jun 28, 2011
