Go for it.

Question

Here in the US or at least in New England I might say to my apprentice, "Now it's your turn to try it" or " Let's see if you are ready to do this yourself", but more likely I'll just say "Go for it" or "Have at it". Now I'm sure that Spanish has its coloquial shortcuts so please tell me what an equivalent to the latter two would be. I've checked the translators but frankly I don't think simple translation will work here, or, if you find this outside the parameters of the SpanishDict forum just tell me and I will lay off the idioms in the future.

Gracias

This is a great question! - --Mariana--, Sep 2, 2009

Answer 1

How about ¡ándale! (Mexican) which is kind of like "Go on and keep doing what you're doing.... you're doing a good job"

¡Eso perfecto! Muchas gracias. - Yeser007, Sep 2, 2009

Answer 3

yesero:

My "Big Fat" Span/Eng & Eng/Span dictionary (HarperCollins - 7th Edition - 2003)

suggests two expressions in Spanish. They are:

Go for it = "¡a por ello!" y "¡adelante!"

I'm not making this up,

"It's in the book"

Recuerdos/Best Wishes

I like "¡adelante!" too. - --Mariana--, Sep 2, 2009

I believe you and I got similar responses from SD but I'm curios to know if they are idioms that would be actually used in other countries and since I've heard ándale many times in my years it just makes sense. Thank you both. - Yeser007, Sep 2, 2009

Adelante is one that I have heard before. - Izanoni1, Sep 2, 2009
