Peppa Pig - help in Spanish
Hi all,

I was watching Peppa Pig in Spanish (like a normal 27 old) and I need help with a sentence.

In the episode Peppa uses the sentence:- "A George no le se da muy bien pintar" to explain how her brother can't paint very well but why doesn't she use "George no sabe pintar muy bien".

In what circumstances would you use the first sentence?

Thanks in advance.

Answer

Hola Ben, es prácticamente lo mismo la diferencia es que la sentencia "A George no se le da muy bien pintar", se encuentra en el episodio para España, en el episodio latino usa otras palabras, para decir que George no pinta bien.

Answer

Hi Ben,

I'd say both of the sentences mean the same thing: "he's not really good at painting".

You can definitely use both sentences, the first one seems just a little bit more sophisticated and polite than the second one!

Kind regards 
Karen

Answer

Hello, Peppa probably used "no se le da muy bien" because it sounds more polite than "no sabe pintar muy bien".

Answer

"No se me da bien pintar" o "no sé pintar muy bien" son frases similares, quizás la primera sea un poco más cortés pero no hay demasiada diferencia. A veces la primera expresión se emplea también en mensajes irónicos . Espero haberte ayudado.
