Resfriando

Question

If "Me estoy resfriando" means I am catching a cold, how do you say "You are catching a cold or he is catching a cold?

Answer 1

The verb is resfriarse. You could also say me resfrio. Try clicking on the word "Conjugate" on the blue bar above and type in resfriarse. It will give you all the tenses and forms for the verb. What you are looking for are the second person singular and the third person singular of the present tense.

By the way "you are catching cold" has 8 different forms depending on how you mean "you" and whether you want the present continuous (or progressive) - you are catching or the simple present tense.

It's worth you while to follow my suggestion you will learn more than just waiting for someone to translate it for you.

Me estoy resfriando is in the present progressive of the reflexive verb refriarse. I cans ay then Se esta refriando. - adsimon, Nov 27, 2013
