Estoy loca?!
there are some men in my neighborhood who are doing construction on the houses and they speak Spanish. Today, My dog and I were walking around and he started growling at them and I said "yo siento, el no esta tan furioso usualmente. No se porta bien hoy" and they looked at me like I was crazy. Did I say something wrong?

Question

Answer

Taylor, como dice Ariadna, no está gramaticalmente perfecto pero si se entiende. Leonardo corrigió tu frase... Puede ser que  quizás él no estaba de buen humor hoy ¿quién sabe?

Answer

I´m sure he understood but  your sentences althought they weren´t perfect. It is better if you say  "Lo siento, él no es tan gruñón usualmente. No se está portando bien hoy" . Always remember that "he isn´t" means "el no está" for example in the garden  y "el no es" for example " polite".-  best regards

Answer

1.de sentar = sentar a la mesa. Entonces para "yo siento" tenemos la mezcla, un embrollo.
2.de comportarse = se comporta bien hoy. Me parece que "se porta bien hoy"
podemos comprender directamente "se trae bien hoy".

Answer

The correct is "Lo siento, él normalmente no es agresivo, solo que no se esta portando bien hoy" Your message was understadable. Perhaps they thought that you were funny.

Answer

I think they look at you that way because they were surprised you talked to them in spanish ,maybe wasnt a perfect spanish but is a nice thing trying to communicate in their language.Fue totalmente entendible=)
