And if i were to say "i blame myself", would that be "je me en veux", but if it is a part of a larger sentence, would it take the infinitve? So for example, is "suis-je l'idiot d'en vouloir á moi" correct?

i am having a bit of a rough time understanding this

[solid copper]

"je m'en veux" "suis-je l'idiot de m'en vouloir"
"en vouloir" à quelqu'un = to be mad at someone for something bad they did

[jaunty tusk]

right I think i am starting to grasp it

[solid copper]

it's an expression (I forgot the term)
like an already-built construction

[jaunty tusk]

i think i know what you are talking about

it was a tricky one as a beginner, i translated it as something like "am i the troudeballe for wanting my gf"

so yeah i got to do some practice with this construction to really understand its usage

so thank you
