Re: Help with the verb "REIR"
For mexican Spanish, ask Tomissimo. ;D We don't usually use "dar una risa" for example, but we use "eso me dió risa /eso me hizo reír " (that make me laugh)
It's very common to say "¿de qué te ries?" What are you laughing (at)? And you can say: Me río de tí I laugh at you reirse (de) =to laugh at . Me río contigo. I laugh with you reirse (con) = to laugh with. : One is polite, the other not. Try to find it 8) For Spanish from Spain. 1)yo quise hacerla reír--I wanted to make her laugh 2)Se ríe cada vez que yo le hablo--He laughs at me every time I speak 3)Me reí de sus bromas--I laughed at thier jokes 4)Yo quise hacerle reir (a usted) -formal Yo quise hacerte reir ( a tí) - normal I wanted to make you laugh I must say that nevertheless everyone would understand you with your original expressions. Happy year!!

Re: Help with the verb "REIR"
All of sosia´s information is right on.
I want to comment on one of your sentences. se me ríe cada ves que yo hablo -- He laughs at me every time I speak The "at me" part of this sentence would be "de mi" in spanish. Se ríe de mi cada vez que hablo. -- He laughs at me every time I speak. Se ríe de mi cada vez que le hablo. -- He laughs at me every time I speak to him. Se ríe cada vez que le hablo. -- He laughs every time I speak to him. Se ríe cada vez que hablo. -- He laughs every time I speak.

Re: Help with the verb "REIR"
I have a question about syntax, when you say " Se rie cada vez que hablo," why do you use "que"? it seems to me that "hablo" means "I speak", i have trouble with trying to directly translate, maybe this will help me clear that up.
