Que bueno!!! Te lo robo sin permiso

Question

i have upload a video from youtube link, and somebody like the link but give me the comment "QUE BUENO!!! TE LO ROBO SIN PERMISO" i get confused, she liked it but on contrary give this comment. i get confused with the expression in use.

Answer 1

What it means is: "That's so good" I'll steal it (from you) without (your) permission!"

This person is making a joke of sorts, first because - of course - stealing and "without your permission" is redundant. Deliberately so in this case, I think.

Secondly, it is funny because what she means is: "I liked this video, I am going to download it, reference it, cross-post it - whatever", and she's letting you know by stating that she's "stealing it".

Can you explain this better? Maybe step by step maestro? No comprendes bien porque es asi. - jeezzle, May 9, 2010

Context and custom, Jeezle. Context - Alfa states that this person seemed to like his video. There is no mention anywhere that somebody stole the video from him, and he states that it's his own production. - Gekkosan, May 9, 2010

Custom- people often use that expression "te lo robo"; when they really like something. "It's so good that I simply have to steal it from you." - Gekkosan, May 9, 2010

I always assume that everyone is lying to me, so by assumption, there is something happening that is not being said,. I will assume that te lo robo = I must have it (I like it) - jeezzle, May 9, 2010

There, that's perfect. "I must have it" (and I'm going to take it whether you want to give it to me or not). - Gekkosan, May 10, 2010

Answer 2

You stole it without permission. Is it a licensed link? Sounds like sarcasm to me.

no, it's not a licensed link, youtube.com would have block that video if it violated copyright - Alfa-Sukatmo, May 9, 2010

Can you post it? I want to look at it and get a better idea. Gracias. - jeezzle, May 9, 2010

Not "you stole it". "Te lo robo" - "I am stealing / will steal it from you" - Gekkosan, May 9, 2010

I assumed it was robó not robo. - jeezzle, May 9, 2010
