It’s the accidental “se.” Something is forgotten with respect to you.

Also, be very careful learning grammar from memes. You can expect the same attention to correctness that you see with memes in English.

Ah ok I see, thank you. Good advice as well, since I sometimes do try to translate Spanish memes for practice, I would probably develop bad habits if I continue doing that. Thanks

I really wish we had a sub like r/memexico but grammatically correct.

Yeah that would be good. It's a fun way to learn if only it was accurate

About grammar Im 80% sure that Cuando shouldnt have accent mark since its not a question. Also, is Vamos, written that way to imitate some accents

Have a look on "accidental se". It removes purpouse from the doer of the action. I didnt want to forget it, it just happened

Whats your jacket made of, Squirtle?? Es cuero, es cuero.
