se supone
Spanish
Etymology
Phrase
- it is permitted, allowed
- it is supposed to be that way
- (se supone que +subjunctive) it is supposed to be that
- No se supone que aparquemos aquí, pero da igual
- We're not allowed to park here, but no one cares.
Usage notes
- Often highlights a difference between what is supposed to be and what is so.
- Often used in the negative as no se supone: it is not permitted.
- A phrase specifying what is permitted takes the subjunctive.
- Although a verb with the infinitive form suponer, when used in this expression it is almost exclusively (as written above) in the third person in passive voice
