Is this the correct translation of "I'm going to get you!" as when one kid chases another?

¡Voy a conseguirte!

OMG, jejejejej, funny translation, I guess you got this from the translator. LOL

We say:

¡Te pillo! ¡Voy a pillarte! ¡Te voy a coger!

Finding pillar would be tough. It is not listed under "get", and under "catch" it's defined as "manage to find", but used in an earlier example.

atrapar (thrown object, falling object), coger (español de España), agarrar (Am); pescar ; atrapar, capturar

  • catch (it)! (fish)(prey,thief) -> ¡agárralo!(when throwing something), ¡cógelo! (español de España)
  • to catch somebody doing something -> pillar a alguien haciendo algo

pillar (manage to find) (español de España), coger (español de España), agarrar (Am)

-you've caught me at a bad time (program, film) -> me pillas or (español de España) agarras en un mal momento (Am)

Esa palabra cojer...es una palabra muy de contexto...como todas cosas en espanol. Te doy un examplo. Si yo te digo...mire este cabron...es esa una palabrota? No si estamos en una finca, y ahi va un billygoat. Bueno...si estamos en la calle, y tu sabes esa chica que esta vacillando con otro hombre, y me dices, mire esta cobrona...esa chica que le da los cuernos a su marido, ella que le gusta dar los cuernos, entonces, ya es cosa distincto. En esa forma si es palabrota.

Heidita said.

¡Te voy a coger!

I don't think this is the best choice because it many places it translates into something ...well....inappropriate.

Oh, I am sorry, shub, I didn't mean to make fun of you. confusedThe translations actually accurate in another sense. But not in this context.

Voy a conseguirte.

this could be said by a woman too a man or viceversa when you want this man/woman for yourself and they are paying hard to get.

My fault - didn't use the dictionary from THIS site....the one on this site shows coger as the third translation for "get". Teaches me a lesson! - schub, Sep 18, 2009
