Que me se han puesto enfermas

[ItsThaMonsta]

The word puesto kills me at times. It seems like it has a different meaning everytime I see it.

que me se han puesto enfermas

[chileno]

Literally means that several people have placed/posted themselves (in the position) of being sick.

It's one of those phrases you just have to understand what it means as I do not think there is an equivalent in English, or I cannot think of one right now.

Que se me han puesto enfermas = They have become ill.

"Me" is an emphasis, as if the sick girls had done that "to me".

"Me" is an emphasis, as if the sick girls had done that "to me". It's known as an ethic dative, in case Chileno was wondering. :D

I agree about poner; very slippery verb, quedar is another, and llevar gets interesting too... Gymnastics for my old brain
