I found him arrogant.

Question

Can you say "Lo encontré arrogante" to mean "I found him arrogant"?

Answer 1

Yes, "lo encontré arrogante".

O "me pareció arrogante".

I like "Me parecío arrongante." - gringojrf, Jan 4, 2012

Answer 2

Maybe even, "me choca arrogante" meaning "he strikes me as arrogant".

To me, me choca, means it makes me mad, upset.

Me choca la arrogancia de este hombre. His arrogance makes me mad / puts me in a bad place...... but I don't think "strikes me" is it.

¿Sabes que amigo? Tienes razón. I'm not sure if you can use it as I did... but you're translation is definently correct. - DJ_Huero, Jan 5, 2012

Answer 3

Darse lija/paquete: to be full of oneself, to put on airs.

Answer 4

I'm not sure, but maybe even, "me choca arrogante" meaning "he strikes me as arrogant".

Hmmm, me choca bien, DJ, en realidad... jeje - cristalino, Jan 5, 2012

Good God did I say that? Well I am leaving it there just to show what an idiot I am, hehe. - Eddy, Jan 4, 2012
