What does おせわになってます mean?


> あなたにいつも **おせわになってます** からね.

What does the above sentence mean?

I'm confused about the `おせわになってます` part.




「あなたにいつもお世話になっていますからね」 means "It's because I'm always {indebting myself to
you|being taken care of by you}, isn't it".

The "isn't it" part corresponds to ね, a detail we should not lose in the
translation.

Why we might translate it as "indebting" or "always being" is because
なっている/なっています is an -iru progressive verb: something going on rather than a
finished action.

The に particle is tricky because of its multiple meanings. It can indicate an
action toward something, but it also means "by" in passive senses, which is
essentially the reverse. For instance "anata ni moratta X" means "the X given
to me by you", which can also be expressed as "anata kara moratta X".
