Frequently Asked Questions
If 'admiro' means 'I admire,' how do I say 'He admires'?
You would use the third-person singular form, which is 'admira.' For example, 'Él admira a su jefe' (He admires his boss).
Do I need to include 'yo' when I say 'admiro'?
No, you usually don't need to! Since the '-o' ending already tells the listener that the subject is 'I' (yo), you can simply say 'Admiro...' Using 'yo' is only necessary if you want to emphasize or clarify the subject.
