How do you say "You Go Girl" in spanish?

[uponit7771]

I'm so damn proud of them!!!

The pick of Sotomayor has made my day, a true honoring of a great mans dream!!!!

[Uben]

1. Homanga del chicho el varde

JK! I don't know what it means, but it sounds good!

[uponit7771]

2. Thx, I don't know how to pronounce it but I'll learn....

[dflprincess]

9. I have no idea what you're saying but I know enough Spanish to say

if you're referring to Judge Sotomayor it should be "chica", not "chico".

[ellenfl]

23. i tried 2 different translation sites and neither of them could

decipher that . . . and 'chicho' is not 'chico' but i have no idea what 'chicho' means.

my high school spanish translation would be 'tu vayas, chica!' but i'm a gringa so what do i know.

37. Dunno what the fuck that is, but it isn't "you go girl".

[cbc5g]

3. te vas nina!

i think

[uponit7771]

5. Thx, that looks like it has less syllables

[jberryhill]

13. You (familiar female) are going

You want the imperative form - vaya

[cbc5g]

26. yep your right forgot that conjugation

[jberryhill]

33. It's Amazing That Spanish Speakers Get Anything Done

I used to have visions of the natives whiling away the hours in Madrid, taking siestas and conjugating their verbs.

[Gman]

4. Just say...

Nah, never mind!

[uponit7771]

6. Nah, not lookin to get punched in the mouth....

[Gman]

8. Sorry, I'm easily amused!

Reminded me of that old Cheech and Chong skit that was also in (I think) Up In Smoke where Cheech tells Chong, "Just tell them 'Hey, Baboso!' 'Really, what does it mean?' 'Don't worry about it! It means Hey, my friend!'" It really means something like, hey, you idiot!

You could say something like, "Tu Vayas, mama!"

11. I just spat tea all over the couch!

You shout that, and you're gonna have to find your teeth on the pavement. HAHAHA!

7. How 'bout "vaya chica"?

Thinking that if "vaya con dios" means go with god, then maybe vaya chica means go girl? Add "tu" for "you" maybe, tu vaya chica?

High school spanish was a long time ago

[TheDebbieDee]

18. "Vaya, chica!" was the first thing (and most literal translation)

that came to my mind!

[uponit7771]

20. thx, it sounds simple enough for me...

[BlooInBloo]

38. Possibly "Vayate chica" is more colloquial? (reflexive-izing)...

Been too long for me.

[jberryhill]

10. Yo Tengo Un Gato En Mis Pantalones Con Queso

Donde' esta la biblioteca?

[a la izquierda]

12. Oh lord, that's funny.

[jberryhill]

16. Then you need to watch this

22. Literally laughed until I cried...

I needed that.

42. rotflmao

[Canuckistanian]

15. Haha! La plume de ma tante est sur table!

Mein Vater hat eine rote Nase.

[uponit7771]

17. 2 yrs of French makes Spanish words look funny

[jberryhill]

19. What sucks is...

Neither one provides an edge in Italian.

[Odin2005]

28. You have a cat in your pants with cheese?

:rofl:

[Kahuna]

39. You too??

:rofl:

[jberryhill]

40. Hay una fiesta en mis pantalones y todos son invitados!

[Kahuna]

41. Thank you. Thank you. I'll be there!

;)

[question everything]

14. From Babel Fish

usted va muchacha

[Canuckistanian]

21. Which probably translates in Puerto Rico as...

"You, the girl, should go"

[Chipper Chat]

24. Caramba muchacha! Que hermosa!

No 'chinga' por favor.

[Odin2005]

25. Ve Chica! (oh sure, thanks for reminding me why I hate conjugating "Ir"...)

I think that's the 2nd person informal singular imperative form of "ir"...

[unpossibles]

27. Te voy hacer la sopa

This can be followed by "Bajar al pozo, mi amo." or perhaps "¿Cómo coñolo quieres?"

You may want to be careful whom you say that to, however.

If you're referring to the SCOTUS nominee, I suggest you stick with ¡felicidades!

[TankLV]

29. "You go girl in spanish" would be my first thoughts...

[Clio the Leo]

30. And what do Puerto Ricans sometimes say....

... sounds like "Port Equa!!!" ..... I've been wanting to say that all day myself.

[Colobo]

35. Boricua!

[Clio the Leo]

36. Thank you! I've been Googeling that all day and NUTHIN! NT

[HamdenRice]

44. Boricua actually isn't a Spanish word

The people of Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic often use the indigenous, native American, Taino word for the countries.

Puerto Rico - Boricua
Dominican Republic -- Quisqueya

And the people of Haiti changed the name of their country from Saint Domingue to the Taino word when they achieved independence, ie Haiti.

[Colobo]

31. As a Spanish professor myself, I'd say that it depends on the country and

on the fact that "You go, girl!" as an expression of approval doesn't really exist in Spanish.

O sea- se me hace muy difícil pensar en una traducción adecuada. :)

[no_hypocrisy]

32. Vaya arriba, chica!

[Colobo]

34. In Puerto Rican Spanish, "Meta mano, jueza" (You go, Judge!)

[HamdenRice]

43. "Vaya mija" -- New York Spanglish version.
