Identify this se

Question

In sentence "se me hace que" is this passive voice se or indirect object se ? If so, could you explain the structure to me.

That looks like a sentence fragment to me. Could we have the whole sentence? - 0074b507, Aug 2, 2011

Answer 1

In the DRAE the verb hacer has 58 different meanings. The 55th is:

1. prnl. Dicho de una cosa: Parecerle otra a alguien. Las manadas que a don Quijote se le hicieron ejércitos.

The abbreviation prnl. means that, in this meaning, the verb is pronominal: hacerse: to look as if...

se me hace que... it seems to me that...

In the example (Las manadas que a don Quijote se le hicieron ejércitos), Don Quixote confused the herds with armies. The herds seemed to him that they were armies. like armies to Don Quixote.

(please correct my English).

The herds seemed like armies to Don Quixote. - lorenzo9, Aug 2, 2011

Answer 2

hacerse a pronominal meaning of hacer is to become.

Se me hace imposible trabajar -> it’s becoming impossible for me to work

hacer

It's almost impossible to tell without context, but I seriously doubt that the se could be an i.o.p. and the me a d.o.p. in that construction.

Yea, I was asking myself can "se me" ever be a double object pronoun. - Politically_Correct1, Aug 2, 2011

Answer 4

If you really want to know, that "se" is called "middle se", but it is easier to simply think of "hacerse" as a pronominal verb.
