Defintion of 'Basilar'

Question

Okay,

I have tried to find the definition in dictionaries and the web of the verb Basilar without much luck. I'm thinking that it might be spelt incorrectly but i don't know.

Context: "...Me fallaste, abusaste, basilaste ella me revivio..."

I understand the conjugation, but not definition of the verb . The only thing I can figure out is that it's negative. ¡¡Ayudame porfavor!!!

Answer 1

Hi there,

Maybe it should be "vacilar", to hesitate. According to my dictionary, this verb can also mean "to tease" and in Latin-American context "to party", "to have fun".

Hope this helps.

Saludos, Chica

Good idea! I was trying different spellings, including the use of "v", but did not try "c" in place of the "s". - Nicole-B, Aug 18, 2010

I listen to a lot of latin american songs (salsa, reggeaton) and had come across it before ;) - chicasabrosa, Aug 18, 2010

I think you will find it's actually 'vacilar' Vacilar

Just looking around the net it seems to be the words from the Daddy Yankee song - She Lifted Me Up and that 'vacilaste' seems to get translated as 'played with me' - this link should help now and if you have any more songs you want to translate.

Answer 3

There is another song

"'Esa chica me vacila... Esa chica me vasila... Me gusta como me vasila... Esa chica me vasila..."'

It is a Mexican song/group - from around the early 90's - a cumbia.

It means "that girl doesnt' take me seriously."

Answer 4

"Me fallaste, abusaste, basilaste ella me revivio..."

"you failed me, you abused (me), you strung me along (vacilaste), she revived me (she brought me back to life)"

Answer 5

"vacilar" is the verb and "string along" in the context of this song is a good translation.

Amongst younger people in Ecuador and Colombia "vacilar" (sometimes spelled with a "B") often means the equivalent of to 'hook-up'.

Ex: "No es su novio- estan vacilando no más." -----"He's not her boyfriend, they're just hooking-up."

Answer 6

I am becoming frustrated trying to figure this out myself.

According to the conjugation tool, this word is not recognized by the RAE, although a full conjugation is provided here.

I'm sure someone has an answer, and I am just as anxious as you are to here what it is.

True, but that's the same conjugation tool that tries to conjugate nouns that end -ar, -er, an d-ir. It hasn't proven to be a very good judge of verbhood. ;) - MacFadden, Aug 18, 2010

Answer 7

hello everyone,

thank you for your responses. Vacilar makes much more sense as the V sounds like a B.
@chicasabrosa, good point on the spelling change. I'll keep that in mind for the future.
