sentir = to fell

Presente
siento
sientes / sentís
siente
sentimos
sentís / sienten
sienten

sentar = to sit

Presente
siento
sientas / sentás
sienta
sentamos
sentáis / sientan
sientan

PS: a little tip, if you enter here http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/ and you search for a verb, there is an option that says: "Conjugar". There you can see all the conjugations for all the verbs and all the times. It's very usefull.

Sentar: siento, sientas, sienta, sentamos, sentáis, sientan
Sentir: siento, sientes, siente, sentimos, sentís, sienten

Sentar means various things to do with sitting (used as a transitive verb) or going well with something (used as an intransitive verb with indirect object). Sentir means feeling / sensing (used with a verb in the indicative) or being sorry (used with a verb in the subjunctive).

Edit: demasiado despacio.

sentir = to feel

Sí, se acentúa la última sílaba (en presente de indicativo).
El voseo se usa en muchos países, y el uso cambia de país en país. No se lo usa en España. Mira aquí.

El voseo is the subject of "No se usa", so it can't also be the direct object. "No lo usan en España" or "No se usa en España".

Muy bien, nunca lo había supuesto. ¿Cuánto tiempo has estudiado español? Lo hablas bien

Se le usa, al menos, en Uruguay y Guatemala y en algunas regiones de Bolivia y Colombia.

¿Vosotros decís "se le usa"? No me había fijado

Nosotros a este tipo de oración la llamamos "pasiva refleja impersonal" (se hace, se dice, se comenta, ...), siempre en tercera persona y sin pronombres átonos. Si usamos los pronombres átonos, ya no es pasiva refleja impersonal (se lo dije, etc.)

Bueno, sí... aquí es más común que "se usa"... nos suena raro "se lo usa", pero sé que ese "lo" es frecuente en otros países.

A mi personalmente "se usa", "se lo usa" y "se le usa" me suenan muy, pero muy normales al oído. (lo pusé en orden de uso)
