Q

Am I overthinking the matter?

A

¿Estoy dándole demasiadas vueltas?
¿Le estoy dando muchas vueltas al asunto?

*	¿Le – “to it” or “to him/her” (referring to the issue or matter)
*	estoy – “am” (first person singular of the verb estar, meaning “to be”)
*	dando – “giving” (gerund form of dar, meaning “to give”)
*	muchas – “many” (feminine plural form, agreeing with vueltas)
*	vueltas – “turns” or “spins” (refers to the idea of going around in circles)
*	al – contraction of a + el, meaning “to the”
*	asunto – “matter” or “issue”
