Note 5.6 — SIN QUERER

Reading edition

no le importaría 'he wouldn't mind.' Impersonal verbs occur much more frequently in Spanish than in English, and it is often wise, in translating, to change to the personal construction (cf. translation of tratándose, [3.6]). However, the impersonal form may well be retained, if appropriate. In this book consideration is to be given to such verbs as antojarse, bastar, constar, convenir, gustar, importar, pasar, pesar, placer, sentar, sobrar, suceder, tardarse, tratarse, etc. The vocabulary suggests various translations.
