pinta de fuertote - to seem/to look very strong; to seem to have great strength

"Engaña mucho por su pinta de fuertote"

I could be something like that: He/She is very deceptive because of their looks of great strength.

Tiene buen pinta = That looks good, a comment you might make on a dish of food for example.

You sure about this? "buena pinta" seems more likely. - samdie, Dec 22, 2009

Yes, seeming to have a strong image, that sounds about right. Thanks.

Is it anything to do with the song as well but in masculine form?

Volare (Nel blu di pinto di blu)

or am I way off here? smile

"Pinta" from "Pintar" (To paint) is "Portray.' In the song, it's a little more litteral, "The sky is painted blue." - 005faa61, Dec 22, 2009
To say nothing of it's not being a song in Spanish. - samdie, Dec 22, 2009
