Understanding the difference

Question

"Algunas personas me dan ganas de vomitar cuando veo sus caras"I think I wrote the sentence right but my question is if I were to say Some people make me sick would I say Algunas personas me ponen enfermo" or me "hacen enfermo? and if i used hacen would i still be understood

Answer 1

Yes, the first sentence is right. You could also say "me provocan ganas" or "me causan ganas" (a little more formal).

I'd say "me ponen enfermo". "Hacen enfermo" would be understood, but it's not used (at least, where I live). Another way to say the same with "hacen" could be "me hacen sentir enfermo" or "hacen que me sienta enfermo", although the first one is more common. We also say "me ponen malo" (and here, "malo" means "sick", not "bad").

Answer 2

Jaja, now there's an interesting question. X)

SpanishDict-sickscroll down a bit, it includes maany ways to express that you've really had it with something/one with translations of 'sick'.
