Me acostumbraré

[irmamar]

Instead of saying "I'll get used to", may I say "I'll be accostumated"? With the meaning of "me acostumbraré", of course.

Thanks

Thanks

or I'll get accustomed...

Sorry, I didn't realize that I was making a mistake

Does it sound weird or not? Is "get used" more common?

Thanks, Chileno

You can use both. Although in my head, I think getting used to" is more informal but widely used.

[irmamar]

Thank you again

And another question: that "get used to" is always written with the -ing form? I wrote to live, but my book says "to living". That -ing form following "to" "me da dolor de cabeza"

The sentence is : I'll get used to living there.

"I'll get used to + noun" - informal
"I'll become accustomed to + noun" - formal.

"get accustomed" sounds weird because get is informal and accustomed is formal.

When you use an infinitive as a noun in Spanish you generally use a present participle (-ing) in English.

I think the wierdness you hear in this term is regional.

To me, "I've gotten accustomed to ... " is as natural as "I've grown accustomed to" or "I've become accustomed to..."

To me that sounds American and weird. Can "gotten" be used in high registers?

[Cloudgazer]

I sure haven't heard "gotten" in high registers.

"I've gotten accustomed to ..." is something I hear in my region once in a while and is a mix of informal and formal to my ear. It's usually used where the situation being discussed is serious or has some formal structure to it, and in which "used to it..." sounds too mediocre or dismissive and "grown/become accustomed..." sounds pretentious.

How's your leg pain, Grandfather?
I've gotten accustomed to it.

So, Matt; how are you doing with the new drive-thru hours?
I've gotten accustomed to them, sir.
