SCENARIO
Imagine
you are talking to a relative, a friend or a colleague about one of
your acquaintances.
Unable to establish who you mean, the other person says:
"who
do you mean?"
In
Spanish, the other person could choose to be less formal and say:
¿A
quién te refieres?
Alternatively,
he/ she could choose to be more formal and say:
¿A
quién se refiere (usted)?
TIPS
Responding should
be quite straightforward. However, before you reply, you should
decide how you are going to refer to the person you mean*.
If the person you are meaning is a male (his name is Pedro Botero) and you want to refer to him in an informal manner, you could say:
- Me refiero a Pedro Botero (I mean Pedro Botero);
- Me refiero a mi amigo Pedro Botero (I mean my friend Pedro Botero);
*
NB See examples of replies when meaning:
Now
you should practise answering the question:
¿A
quién te refieres?
