Usage notesEdit
Both abordar and abordarse can mean to "address". You should only use the active reflexive, however, when not referring to a human or sentient speaker or writer. For example, you would use the reflexive when the subject of the sentence is a report, an article, a book, a policy or law, a summit or conference, an event or meeting, a list of rules and regulations, etc. In all these situations, there is no human or sentient subject.
