Pero a ella si la escucho??

Question

I was telling my friend that a girl didnt understand him when he was talking to her and he replied "pero a ella si la escucho". I would like to know what role does "si" play in this sentence??

Answer 1

The "sí" means "yes" and is just there for emphasis. It's like saying "But I do understand/listen to you."

Thank you very much, I had a gut feeling that, that is what it meant. - kuddah, Nov 6, 2013
