So, supone that...

Join us on a rigorous step-by-step journey to fluency.

I'm Timothy, and this is Learncraft Spanish.

Today we have a big quiz to practice PONER, our verb for to put, and SUPONER, our verb for to put, and suponair, our verb for to suppose.

But first, let's learn a couple more uses of suponair that are very common.

Check out this sentence in English.

He is supposed to be here tomorrow.

So this is a bit different from what we've been practicing. This particular sentence doesn't describe anyone as supposing or guessing anything.

It's just generally supposed by nobody in particular.

The way that this works in Spanish is we use a reflexive version of suponer.

Here's how that sentence would look.

So we're literally saying,

it supposes itself that he will be here tomorrow.

Here's another example.

Supposedly, there's nobody here.

So in that case, we used the adverb supposedly, which in Spanish is very often translated as

se suponeke.

Now, what if we wanted to put this in the past?

For example, I was with her and supposedly we were friends.

In this case, we'll use the imperfect form, suponia, which we didn't learn yesterday.

Here's the full example.

Staba with her, and it's suponia that we're our most amigos.
