Could anyone explain why “se não se importar” uses the infinitive? Or is it the conjunctive? Why not “se não se importa”. Obg
Olá! Here, “importar” is the future subjunctive. It looks the same as the infinitive, so they can only be distinguished by the grammatical context. In this particular case, actually, the sentence could also be formed in the simple present (“se não se importa”) and it would still sound perfectly natural and keep just about the same meaning. However, this is not always the case 🙂
Thanks Joseph!
