What’s the difference between fijar and fijarse?
Fijar means ‘to fix (in place), to put up (a notice), to set (a date, a price)’ and fijarse means ‘to notice, to pay attention’. Fijarse is the reflexive form of fijar, so it always takes a reflexive pronoun – me, te, se, nos, os or se – that matches the subject. The verb itself is conjugated the same way: in the present tense, yo fijo becomes me fijo. In the affirmative tú imperative the pronoun attaches to the end of the verb, so fija becomes fíjate.
