Frequently Asked Questions
Can I say 'te mirar' instead of 'mirarte'?
Not exactly. While both mean 'to look at you,' Spanish usually attaches the 'te' to the end of the infinitive (the 'to' form of the verb). You can say 'te quiero mirar' OR 'quiero mirarte,' but you cannot just say 'te mirar' on its own.
Does 'mirarte' mean 'look at yourself'?
It can! In Spanish, 'te' can mean 'you' (someone else) or 'yourself' depending on the sentence. For example, 'Debes mirarte en el espejo' means 'You should look at yourself in the mirror.'
