Arrepentir should not be in the SD Dictionary

Administrator take note - arrepentir appears in the SD dictionary, but is not actually a word in Spanish. We can leave arrpentirse alone, however.

You are right that it's not an actual Spanish word or verb, but it's commonly used as in this sentence "no se va a arrepentir" or "no se arrepentirá" as in "you won't regret", usually as a catch frase when advertising something.

Obviously it goes accompanied by a pronoun; 'me', 'le' and so on, hence the confusion, I suppose.

Ex. "Te vas a arrepentir", "Tal vez me voy a arrepentir de esto", Te puedes arrepentir"... - 00a4c226, Nov 1, 2011
Coffee, isn't it true that all these examples, including those of geouk, use a reflexive pronoun? Are these not reflexive pronouns? - Jeremias, Nov 1, 2011
