How does the impersonal work with reflexive verbs? For example, probar has a slightly different meaning to probarse so how would they be different in the impersonal form? Would "se prueba aquí" mean: "You try it here" Or "You try it on here" Or are they the same?
You try it on here would be correct, because "Probarse" generally is used for "Put on" clothes, Probar generally means another whole different thing like "Try" and "Taste". In general for reflexive and no reflexive sometimes is used different verbs in english.
Errors in this video for learners. 02:57 "Volverse is a copulative verb". WRONG. Ser, estar, and parecer are copulative verbs in Spanish.

Because she's all over the place in this video, and it wasn't just me, it actually is in-fact a sloppily put together, confusing video with wrong information. She said to be careful of the passive se, then proceeds to use the passive se and said it was impersonal. If you're trying to learn this topic, find another video.

The standard is Always singular. I'm afraid you conflate se impersonal and se pasiva. See "Nueva gramática de la lengua española"

Thank you! Se is very confusing especially in phrases like se puede because it means it can. But who is it canning to? Why is it not just puede? Idk 😭
So can se be a subject pronoun or an object one?
Thx profe

I watched this video one year ago in 2023 (now 2024), and I now know why I was so confused
the first time I watched it. Because she's all over the place in this video, and it wasn't just me, it
actually is in-fact a sloppily put together, confusing video with wrong information. She said to be careful of the
passive se, then proceeds to use the passive se and said it was impersonal.

Can you leave a bit more time with the writing on because it goes off the screen in a millisecond making it a nightmare to copy out.
🧭 ... pause the video ...
She said a lot of wrong things. She doesn't know Spanish grammar.
