Ayudame por favor!
Hi,
I've just started learning spanish, and i need your help for a word that i'm curious about. The word "sea". Where does it cone from? What does it mean? Where is it used? For example in a Juanes song: "que si me muero sea de amor " "y si me enamoro sea de vos " Gracias in advance mis amigos! |

Sea comes from the verb SER, this is a conjugation for the subjunctive mode in Spanish Grammar... this mode expresses possibility, a wish, a fear, a doubt, something that it is not taken for granted...
In this case, the song, it expresses possibility... Yo sea Tu seas El/Ella sea Nosotros seamos Ustedes sean Ellos sean Si me muero sea de amor... if I die, be it of love Si me enamoro sea de vos...If I fall in love, be it with you Hope you can understand now!!! Spanish Grammar is difficult.

Hi Mario!
I think it's definetely to fall in love with you...in the song, I mean... By the way, I was away for a while and I just read nice things on the Happiness thread...I will write more later on that but I wanted to thank you for your words. I am so happy for the friends we have made on this forum that I will have to thank the forum eternally for it!!! and much more things, of course...

I would suggest:
Si me muero sea de amor... if I die, may it be of love Si me enamoro sea de vos...If I fall in love, may it be be with you To fall in love with, not of |
