Get / Got / Getting etc.
¿Que es la traducción mejor por 'get' cuando se usa para 'become'. Creo que es 'hacer', pero no sé si estoy correcto. Por ejemplo:
I am getting better.Y "get" para adquirir? Por ejemplo: The girl gets candy every day. Last edited by Fazor; January 13, 2010 at 09:11 AM. |

Estoy mejorando.
Mi avena se enfrió. (I think). A esa niña le dan caramelos todos los días. |

Okay, that's the impression I got (that there's not particularly a word for "get") but when I look up "get" in the dictionary, it lists the reflexive "hacerse" as a translation to mean (become) and if I look up "become", it also lists "hacerse".

It is that get has many meanings. When get means obtain you can certainly use obtener.
When get means become, as to to get sick, you can use the ponerse.

Busqué "enfrió" en el diccionario. Dice que con comida (o bebida), puede usar 'ponerse frío'. Mi avena se puso frío.

Yes you are right.
My food got col Mi comida se enfrio. Enfrio can be used for the use in objects and food too. Mi carro se enfrio. My car got cold. Mi sopa se enfrio. My soap got cold

To be honest, in BrE the verb "get" is not very good, well it sounds terrible to me. In most cases, there is a better verb, and if there is, this is the verb to translate into Spanish.
Example: My soup got cold. My soup has gone cold I challenge anybody to come up with a sentence with "get (or got)" in it where I can't find a better verb. (There are some ). Do you get the message? |

Don't you say "I have got a cold" instead "I have a cold" for "yo tengo un resfriado" (for instance)?. Or even: I've got some money, a house, etc. instead of using simply "have" (I have some money, a house, etc). I think "I've got" (you, he, etc.) is most used in BrE than in AmE
