Spanish Word of the Day (13th June 2013) explicarse (verb): to express yourself, to explain (yourself). Definition: Being able to ‘express’ or ‘explain yourself’ is very important in life, and “explicarse” is the verb that applies when you’re trying to do just that. Example: Se explica con mucha claridad. He expresses himself very clearly. Example: No sé si me explico. Lo que quiero decir es que ... I’m not sure I’m making myself clear. What I mean is that ... In Latin American countries you use “explicarse” to make sure that someone has understood the message you are trying to put across. Example: ¿Me explico? Is that clear? or Do you understand what I mean? Using “¿Me entiende(s)?” in that situation will be considered insulting to the other person’s intelligence!
