"Espero se hayan sentido identificados" meaning?

Question

"Espero se hayan sentido identificados" meaning?

Answer 1

This sounds like an attempt to directly translate from English to Spanish and only after reading Gintar's translation, did I understand it. I have never heard "identificado" used in the context of feeling connected with someone. More natural ways to say this would be "conectados," "alineados," or "de acuerdo."

However, one could say "Espero que se identifiquen con ......."

It sounded strange to me, too. But I did a Google search and found that the phrase appears to be used by some Spanish speakers. - gintar77, Aug 27, 2011

I wonder if that group uses spanglish - 005faa61, Aug 27, 2011

Very possible. - gintar77, Aug 27, 2011

Answer 2

Hi JoeRosenberg, There were three different meanings in translation but this one makes the most sense. "Espero se hayan sentido identificados" means hope I have been meaning identified. Hope this helps!

P.S. If you click the home page there is a translation page where it translates stuff for you. Though it may not always be right, but most the time it probably will.

Answer 3

I have never heard "identificado" used in the context of feeling connected with someone.

I do use "identificarse" with this meaning.

.

"Identificarse" with someone means to have the same feelings/connection about some situation.

For example "Me siento identificado con José. Yo tuve el mismo problema con mi auto."

This means that you share his feelings about this particular situation.

What sounds strange, at least to me, in this context is not the verb form but the adjective form. - 005faa61, Aug 27, 2011

Answer 4

There is something missing: Espero que se hayan sentido identificados.

I hope that you were able to relate. I hope you have felt a connection. I hope you were able to identify [with something previously mentioned.]
