What does "sich etwas einbilden" mean? |
Travel Info Please help me with my homework! I need to write a personal sentence using "sich etwas einbilden". So it needs to be something like: Ich bilde mir ______ ein ... I don't really understand what "sich einbilden" means. Is it one of those things that doesn't translate well into English? Can you help me? Travel Tips That is really an ambiguous phrase... Both answers above are correct: Meaning 1: To imagine sth: Ich bilde mir ein, dass ich einmal ber眉hmt bin. I imagine I will be famous one day. Meaning 2: To be smug about sth: Sie bildet sich ein, dass sie sch枚n ist. She thinks that she is beatiful. And there is an additional meaning 3: To fancy sth: Ich bilde mir einen neuen Computer ein. I fancy a new computer. Others sich etwas einbilden means simply to imagine something Ich bilde mir ein Du bist ein Junge. Ich bilde mir schoene Dinge ein. Einbilden means you believe in something that is not true and has some negative touch so you would rarely say this about your self...you would probalby say : Sie bildet sich ein, sie sieht gut aus (she thinks she is good looking) "er bildet sich ein ich mag ihn" (he thinks I fancy him)..or when you regret something you have done you might say "I habe mir eingebildet das sei eine gute Idee" (I thought that would be a good idea). Generally speaking Einbildung is an opionion you have about yourself that don't necessarily has to be true. |
