¿No te llevas bien con él? Is there another way to say this? Why llevar(se?) here? Gracias.

In English, when you say "get along", you are not getting anything, and there is no reason for using along, since there is no motion from one place to another. But metaphorically, things begin to make sense. "Llevar" means to take things (or people) from one place to another, like "get along". Using the dictionary:
llevar
llevarse bien dos o más personas que viven en compañía o tienen que tratarse con frecuencia.
- loc. verb. coloq. Congeniar, darse recíprocamente motivos de amor o agrado.
llevarse mal dos o más personas que viven en compañía o tienen que tratarse con frecuencia.
- loc. verb. coloq. No congeniar, darse recíprocamente motivos de desamor o desagrado.

Ok, so it's mildy idiomatic perhaps. I will write down both of those in the book. - jeezzle, Aug 28, 2010
