Thanks!

The sentence in the expanded section, 'Lavaste el cochera ayer'. Why not, Lavas el cochera, I thought lavaste made it reflexive and would mean 'did you wash yourself'? Thanks

lavaste is the 2nd person preterit form of lavar i.e. "you washed." i.e. it IS lavar and not lavarse which, you are correct, means to wash oneself

lavas el cochera ayer would be "you wash (present tense) it yesterday"
interestingly you can use the present for the future lo lavas mañana (you(ll) wash it tomorrow?" but not the past.

The reflexive would be

Te lavas – you wash yourself

Te lavaste – you washed youself.

Yes hypersport is right, I said I hate men who hit women. They are the biggest cowards!

Yo odio las mujeres que golpean a sus hombres!hihiihi

y odio odiar!

Mi consejo es no odia!

I think, spanishlearners meant,

"How can one consider himself a MAN (cultural imperative implied) and hit a woman."

From what I have seen, domestic abuse can sink just as abysmally in either direction. Consideration and respect go a long way.

Estoy de aquerdo, bate_vane

Mi consejo es no odia!
El odio, que ciega; y quando una encuentre alguin que se merece odio, es un tiempo para no estar cegar.

Es cierto el abuso domestico es de hombres y mujeres.

Estoy de acuerdo no hay que odiar, mas bien la palabra seria "detesto". Odio es una palabra muy fuerte!
