"Corazon que ace"

Question

What does the sentence or phrase below mean?

Corazon que ace

Answer 1

It's misspelled. It should be "Corazon que hace" and it is either saying "Heart, what are you doing" or it is an incomplete phrase saying "heart that makes..."

It would help if we knew it was definitely que and not qué. - Eddy, Jun 4, 2010

I agree - but I suspect it will be "que" even if they meant "qué", based on the way hace was spelled. - Lrtward, Jun 4, 2010

Answer 2

I don't think you would say ¿Corazón qué hace? as corazón used as an endearment doesn't go with usted form of hacer rather you would say ¿Corazòn qué haces? and the equivelent in english would be, What are you doing sweetheart?

That´s a good point. If you were calling someone corazón, you´d use 2nd person familiar. - Lrtward, Jun 4, 2010

Unless their physical heart is skipping beats or hurting.... then it might be ud and not tú ;) - Lrtward, Jun 4, 2010

Answer 3

Kenwilliams is generally right. Assuming that the term "corazón" is, here, a term of endearment meaning "honey" or "sweetheart", the "tú" form would typically be used.

However, it is noteworthy that in LatinAmerica and in parts of southern Spain it is very colloquial to "eat" certain letters of words. So someone from one of these regions intending to say "Corazón, ¿Qué haces?" would sound like they were saying "Corazón, ¿Qué hace?".

Furthermore, it is typical for native Spanish speakers writing in a colloquial setting (such as a text message or an email) to use many abbreviations, ignore accents and punctuation, and to spell exactly as the language is spoken. So "Corazón, ¿Qué haces?" could easily be written as "Corazon que ace".

Hope this helps! Good luck, this was a hard one!
