comerme vs. comer??

Question

yo mire' la frasa "Voy a comerme unas galletas!" ... que es la diferencia entre esa y esta: Voy a comer unas galletas"

Answer 1

I would think the first phrase emphasizes that degree you like galletas. "Voy a comerme" sort of double affirms your intentions to eat with the "me" pronoun.

"Voy a comer unas galletas" is more of a simple statement.

La primera frasa es muy fuerte (con la pronombre me) y el segundo es tranquillo.

Answer 2

Eat some cookies vs. eat every last bit. This reminds me of a phrase: Si cocinas como caminas, hasta las chispitas me como.

Answer 3

Comerse can also be used in the following phrases

Me comí un bocadillo - All I had to eat was a sandwich, I only ate a sandwich

En un mes se comió toda la herencia - He blew his entire inheritance within a month

Se comen unos a otros - They're at daggers drawn

Answer 4

Voy a comerme unas galletas - ,I'm gonna eat the +++++ out of some cookies.

Voy a comer unas galletas - I'm gonna eat some cookies.

Thank you for this link. I have always thought 'me comer' cannot be used because 'I do not eat myself!' but I must have mistaken something along the way. :) - mathslover, Oct 30, 2011
