Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the 'se' at the end of the word?

In Spanish, when you give an affirmative command (telling someone to do something), pronouns like 'se' (yourself) get attached directly to the end of the verb.

Does 'asegúrese' mean 'insurance'?

No, but they are related! 'Seguro' means insurance, and 'asegurar' can mean 'to insure,' but 'asegúrese' is specifically the command to 'make sure' of something.
