Thinking about becoming a vegetarian

Question

Pienso en convertirme en vegetariano.

Pienso convertirme en vegetariano.

Estoy pensando en convertirme en vegetariano.

Estoy pensando en hacerme vegetariano

Pienso hacerme vegetariano.

Pienso en hacerme vegetariano.

These are the six ways I like for saying this. Convertir and hacer seem to work but almost all hits on google use hacerse, seems to be way more used which I can understand since hacerse is to become like a profession, but I can see convertirse there too..... I don't think volver or poner though I did see a couple of ponerse ones hits.....

Gracias.

Answer 1

Wait, so is anyone actually considering becoming a vegetarian or not?

I went vegetarian on Thanksgiving Day actually, just a few weeks back.

I must say, I'm not missing meat. I don't know about the blood group thing, but if true, I must be of the blood group that does not need meat. It totally agrees with me.

Looking at just the nutrient side of it, meat does not provide anything that you can't get from non-meat sources EXCEPT for the good 'ol B12 vitamin.

However, what I do is that I'm an ovo-vegetarian, no meat, no milk, but I do allow eggs, so I get the B12 from the egg yolk. No killing done.

BTW, I was a long time meat eater and loved it.

It's interesting. Do you eat a fair amount of tofu? - jeezzle, Dec 17, 2011

Hmm, tofu. Depends on how you cook it. I myself don't mind it, it can be quite good, but it does not form a regular part of my meals. Are you vegetarian jeez? - Charlius, Dec 17, 2011

Answer 2

Totally right, except on "volverse". You can use that one too!

You also right on ponerse, not good in those examples.

Answer 3

Does not pienso mas el verbo mean I intend (to) and pienso en mas el verbo mean I'm thinking about?

I went veggie about 12 years ago. Sadly, the last meat I ate was the breast part of a KFC bucket when absolutely hammered one New Years Eve...

Well yeah, I intend to , I'm thinking about...... so they are similar. So you're a vegetarian eh? You see this "fruitarian" craze everywhere now. It's certainly cheaper than meat though I have no moral issues with eating meat, I do think we were more - jeezzle, Dec 17, 2011

intended to eat plants etc.... - jeezzle, Dec 17, 2011

Thinking about means that you have not yet made the decision, intend to means that you have made the decision and are indeed going to do it. - afowen, Dec 17, 2011

There is a thinking regarding the relation between the evolution of blood groups as affected by diet. According to that way of thought, people of certain blood groups NEED to eat certain foods... - afowen, Dec 17, 2011

Although I have heard that, I don't really go for it. There's a girl at work that is way into it though. - jeezzle, Dec 17, 2011

Hacerse would be the one most likely... I think!
