Ella le está agregando azúcar a su té.

Question

I believe this sentence could mean

"She is adding sugar to her tea"

or "She is adding sugar to your tea".

If this is correct, is their a way to distinguish whose tea is being sweetened without pointing at someone?

Answer 1

Hello, PeterRS,

Yes, you are right. It could mean both things.

Yes, there's a way to distinguish whose tea she's sweetening. A combination of context and common sense.

Oh, by the way:

She is adding sugar to your tea.

Is there a way to distinguish if she's sweetening my tea, or mine and someone else's?

I´m going to try ' Ella le está agregando azúcar a mi té." and "Ella le está agregando azúcar a nuestro té" - PeterRS, Jan 6, 2013

Answer 2

Cogumela, could you say "... a su té de ella" or "...a su té de él"?

No, that's not posible. In any case, "al té de él", but it sounds extremely weird. - cogumela, Jan 5, 2013
