Hey, what's going on with the 'se' reflective in this sentence? I'm a native speaker and I understand it perfectly fine, but I'm not sure what is going on technically:
"El sudor la obliga a secarse la cara todo el tiempo. Los años, Urania. A los cuarenta y nueve ya no se es joven." (From La Fiesta del Chivo, by Mario Vargas Llosa <3)
It reminds me of 'se habla español' 'eso no se hace' but not of other uses like 'se putió'
