As in “nobody acts like you”?
Or as in “nobody’s words but your own words can guide your behavior”?
Or as in “nobody but you can describe your own behavior”?
Something else?
I think its referring to the phrase “Behave yourself” - who else am I gonna behave?
Which is why I often look at my 6 year old son and just say “Behave!”
He knows who I’m talking about.
Yes, exactly
I’m talking about the phrase “behave yourself”. In the English language, there is no such thing as behaving someone else, only behaving yourself. I don’t know if there’s another language where “behave someone else” makes linguistic sense
Behave yourself, or I’ll come over there and behave you the hard way.
This has “I’ll shit your pants” energy
I’d argue tranqilizing someone is a form of “behaving” another person
I can also behave _my_self
In spanish it could be translated as “comportarse”
Yo me comporto Tú te comportas Ella se comporta Nosotros nos comportamos Vosotros os comportáis Ellos se comportan.
I think they are called reflexive verbs. Because they have to be conjugated with reflexive pronouns.
If not it would be.
Yo comporto Tu comportas Ella comporta …
Which sounds weird as hell. So I suppose you are right also in Spanish.
