Maybe some difficult in parsing Spanish games comes about inffinitive
and reflexive forms of verbs, for example: PUT is PONER in Spanish,
this verb works for putting things into or onto some container, but in
the reflexive form PONERME (that is PONER A MI, Put on me = wear) or
PONERSE (someone (the puppet) put on something, wears something).
However there's just a few verbs with reflexive form that are useful
for interact with the enviroment, just that PONERME and QUITARME, ane
maybe any verb with the ME (me, I, my self) at the end: EXAMINARME
(examine me), MATARME CON LA PISTOLA (commit suicide)
And, you must use the prepositions EN or DE or DENTRO DE, when
refering to something ON or INTO a container, METE LA PISTOLA EN EL
CAJON, EXAMINA LA PISTOLA DENTRO DEL CAJON. SOBRE is used for
supporters PON LA PISTOLA SOBRE LA MESA, COGE LA PISTOLA SOBRE LA MESA/
COGE LA PISTOLA DE LA MESA. As you can see, you can use this
prepositions either for referring supporters or containers, althought
DENTRO is equal to INTO and SOBRE is equal to ON.
However, with actual standards in parsers, you should not have
problems with guess the verb, maybe just with guess the phrase or the
correct grammar, so if you feel you have some doubts of some kind of
orders, just ask.
See you!
