“se me da bien” — why “se”?












4















I can make sense of




Me gusta (a mi) - it gives me pleasure.




However, the expression




Se me da bien -- I'm good at it




doesn't make sense to me due to the presense of "se". If it was "me da bien", I'd understand it. With "se" it seems that "I(!) give to it ..."



Why "se"?



How does the expression translate literaly?

It's the pronomial verb form (often called reflexive, which is apparently a subtype of pronomial) darse.



Literally, you could translate "(esto) se me da bien (a mi)" as It *gives itself* to me well.

    It's pronominal but not reflexive.

    I don't agree with this answer. "Darse" does not mean "to give itself", but rather it means "to happen", or "to be produced".

You could literally translate "Se me da bien" as "it Blooms to me"



the expresion indicates that you are good doing it; that you can get it to it's best in a easy way.

    Se me da(to me),se les da (them)etc... is always referred to the capability of someone of doing some activity. That "se" is there just to make the verb reflexive (Darse bien/mal)

    You have choosen a tricky one there. It's a complex verb and a complex structure.



    According to the D.R.A.E




    dar

    22. tr. Hacer sufrir un golpe o daño. Dar un bofetón, un tiro. U. t. c. intr. Dar DE bofetones, DE palos.

    ...

    49. prnl. Dicho de una cosa: Suceder, existir, determinar.
    Se da el caso. En circunstancias dadas.




    In




    Se me da bien




    we've got the 49 meaning. prnl indicates that it's a pronominal verb




    The grammatical term "pronominal" means "relating to a pronoun," so
    pronominal verbs require a reflexive pronoun. They’re often
    incorrectly referred to as reflexive verbs, when in fact the latter
    are just one type of pronominal verb. The defining characteristic of
    pronominal verbs is that their subjects are acting upon themselves.
    Pronominal verbs are much more common in Spanish than in English.



    What sets pronominal verbs apart from non-pronominal verbs is that
    pronominals must be conjugated with a reflexive pronoun, which
    always agrees with the subject. {source}




    As noted in this text - originally in Spanish -




    se - Es un morfema al servicio exclusivo de la significación del
    verbo; forma parte del verbo - verbo pronominal - y juntamente con él
    constituye el núcleo del predicado. Su supresión es imposible o cambia
    el significado del verbo.



    [English] se - It's a morpheme exclusively related to the verb
    meaning; it's a part of the verb - verbo pronominal - and them both
    form the nucleus of the predicate. It's removal is not possible
    because it may change the meaning of the verb.




    As stated above, if you have just




    Me da bien




    then you got a different meaning. Probably 22 [see D.R.A.E above] in its intr [intransitive] meaning because there is no object in that phrase, it's not the usual "dar/give" meaning because nothing is being given explicitly. That sentence lacks information, it's not complete for a native speaker. I tend to fill it in my head as Me da bien [para el pelo], an idiom.



    The most accurate translation of: I'm good at it

    in Spanish is: (Yo) soy bueno en ello



    Notice that it's practically a word-by-word translation. It seems that you're trying to compare "I'm good at it" with "Se me da bien", two completely different phrases. They've got practically the same meaning but they are constructed differently. In the Spanish version the subject is it, the thing that I master, and that subject is omitted while the subject in the English version is I and the pronoun it is present as a complement.



    Let's reorder the phrase: (Ello) dáseme bien

    where

    (Ello) - it - subject omitted

    dáse - verb

    me (a mí) - to me

    bien - well



    This reordered version is percieved as archaic, it's more or less how Spanish were spoken centurys ago but you can see that all the elements are present in your original version.
    I've not found an idiomatic version in English, it should be something like it's my forte (suggested by Mv Log in the English Learners Site)



    it - subject

    is - verb

    my - particle that establish the relation with me

    forte - positive characteristic



    Hope all this text helps you to understand the sentence.

              then you got a different meaning. Probably 22 [see D.R.A.E above] in its intr [intransitive] meaning because there is no object in that phrase, it's not the usual "dar/give" meaning because nothing is being given explicitly. That sentence lacks information, it's not complete for a native speaker. I tend to fill it in my head as Me da bien [para el pelo], an idiom.



              The most accurate translation of: I'm good at it

              in Spanish is: (Yo) soy bueno en ello



              Notice that it's practically a word-by-word translation. It seems that you're trying to compare "I'm good at it" with "Se me da bien", two completely different phrases. They've got practically the same meaning but they are constructed differently. In the Spanish version the subject is it, the thing that I master, and that subject is omitted while the subject in the English version is I and the pronoun it is present as a complement.



              Let's reorder the phrase: (Ello) dáseme bien

              where

              (Ello) - it - subject omitted

              dáse - verb

              me (a mí) - to me

              bien - well



              This reordered version is percieved as archaic, it's more or less how Spanish were spoken centurys ago but you can see that all the elements are present in your original version.
              I've not found an idiomatic version in English, it should be something like it's my forte (suggested by Mv Log in the English Learners Site)



              it - subject

              is - verb

              my - particle that establish the relation with me

              forte - positive characteristic



              Hope all this text helps you to understand the sentence.

                You have choosen a tricky one there. It's a complex verb and a complex structure.



                According to the D.R.A.E




                dar

                22. tr. Hacer sufrir un golpe o daño. Dar un bofetón, un tiro. U. t. c. intr. Dar DE bofetones, DE palos.

                ...

                49. prnl. Dicho de una cosa: Suceder, existir, determinar.
                Se da el caso. En circunstancias dadas.




                In




                Se me da bien




                we've got the 49 meaning. prnl indicates that it's a pronominal verb




                The grammatical term "pronominal" means "relating to a pronoun," so
                pronominal verbs require a reflexive pronoun. They’re often
                incorrectly referred to as reflexive verbs, when in fact the latter
                are just one type of pronominal verb. The defining characteristic of
                pronominal verbs is that their subjects are acting upon themselves.
                Pronominal verbs are much more common in Spanish than in English.



                What sets pronominal verbs apart from non-pronominal verbs is that
                pronominals must be conjugated with a reflexive pronoun, which
                always agrees with the subject. {source}




                As noted in this text - originally in Spanish -




                se - Es un morfema al servicio exclusivo de la significación del
                verbo; forma parte del verbo - verbo pronominal - y juntamente con él
                constituye el núcleo del predicado. Su supresión es imposible o cambia
                el significado del verbo.



                [English] se - It's a morpheme exclusively related to the verb
                meaning; it's a part of the verb - verbo pronominal - and them both
                form the nucleus of the predicate. It's removal is not possible
                because it may change the meaning of the verb.




                As stated above, if you have just




                Me da bien




                then you got a different meaning. Probably 22 [see D.R.A.E above] in its intr [intransitive] meaning because there is no object in that phrase, it's not the usual "dar/give" meaning because nothing is being given explicitly.

                me (a mí) - to me

                bien - well

                is - verb

                my - particle that establish the relation with me

                forte - positive characteristic
