Como una manzana.
I eat an apple.
grammar · reflexive
COMER or COMERSE?
Recognize that a pronoun can add meaning without making an action literally reflexive.
Remember
Como una manzana. Me como una manzana.
Both examples describe eating an apple. Me como una manzana often presents the eating as a complete, bounded event or adds involvement/emphasis. It does not mean I eat myself: una manzana is still the thing eaten. This is a common use of a pronominal/aspectual construction, not a general rule that se means oneself.
See the difference
Me como una manzana.
I eat an apple (often emphasizing the whole eating event).
El niño se baña.
The boy bathes himself / takes a bath.

Voices are automatic: Orus reinforces masculine personal descriptions; Leda is used for feminine, neutral or ambiguous content. Explicit speaker metadata takes priority. Ordinary masculine nouns do not select a male voice. New recordings are prepared only on Play and saved for reuse. Both voices share the owner-approved monthly budget and 100 new recordings per browser profile per UTC day. Cached audio remains available when the budget is reached.
