Why is it that the verb 'caducar' can be used with 'le' as well bearing the same meaning?
At least as far as I know
Le ha caducado
and
Ha caducado
both mean:
it has expired.
What I suppose is that the meaning of the first one can be translated something like: it has expired for it. While the second one simply goes like: it has expired. Correct me if any of this is wrong please:) Thank you!
By adding "le" the meaning changes a little bit form:
"it has expired" {ha caducado} to
"It has expired on you" {le ha caducado (a usted)}
I think that for an English speaker it make no much sense but in Spanish is very common that the object of the action is the person and not the thing.
Both are ok but with "le" it is more personal
In Spanish we tend to make things more personal, i.e it is more common to say "se le dañó el carro" than to say "el carro de el se daño", both meaning "his car broke down". Again, both are ok but the number of times we use the first is greater than the second.
