¿Te cae?

This is a bit of Spanish I picked up a long time ago, and rediscovered as I was going through my notes.

This is actually fairly colloquial Spanish.   Here's some examples:

A:  Micheal se murio.

B:  ¿Te cae?


A:  Sandra va venir.    

B:  ¿Te cae?

A:  Si, me cae.

After looking over the examples, you may have figured out that te cae translates to "really?"  or "are you sure?"  And me cae is "I'm sure".

A more "standard" version of te cae is "¿estás seguro?"  and me cae would be "estoy seguro".

I hope you found this useful.  These kinds of colloquial expressions are really useful in helping us understand Spanish as it's spoken by native speakers.   

¡Hasta la próxima!
