Through searching himself thus for a name that did not diverge too much from his own, thatwould give a feeling of and represent the great lady and princess, he came to call herDulcinea del Toboso , because she was a native of this village [Toboso]: a name in his opinion harmonious, rare and distinguished, and no less expressive than all the ones that he had given to his team and to himself. ( transitive ) tofeel , beaware of, beconscious of( reflexive ) tofeel (in oneself)( reflexive ) toshow , be felt (of effect, improvement etc.)sentir is used for physical sensations, the reflexivese sentir for internal emotions. This is one of a fairly large group of irregular-ir verbs that are all conjugated the same way. Other members of this group includesortir anddormir . The most significant difference between these verbs' conjugation and that of the regular-ir verbs is that these verbs' conjugation does not use the infix-iss- . Further, this conjugation has the forms(je, tu) sens and(il) sent in the present indicative and imperative, whereas a regular-ir verb would have*sentis and*sentit (as in the past historic).
