I know what the literal translation means but what does 'se sale' mean in the context of an advertisement for Spanish sportspaper Marca?

Question

Is this some kind of idiomatic or slang impression?

Answer 1

Its out ,Its available now, Its here, It has arrived.

That would be "sale" (no reflexive) - LoaEtayo, Oct 3, 2010

Answer 2

It is impossible to explain what it means without a context, since it that "se" can mean different things depending on how it is used, and "sale" has several possible meanings. Give us a sentence, not a couple of isolated words.

The words, in any case, are used in standard Spanish all the time. Nothing idiomatic.

All the advertisement says is 'se sale' - nothing more. I just wondered if anyone could hazard a guess as to what this would mean in terms of advertising the paper. - dave_b73, Oct 3, 2010

Answer 3

When something se sale means that it's extremely cool, that it's awesome.

Answer 4

It's out of context. Esta fuera de contexto./Se sale de contexto. It's out of control. Esta fuera de control./ Se sale de control.

Answer 5

LoaEtayo and Albert - thank you. When I watch the Spanish football on telly tonight it will no longer bug me every time the hoardings flip over to that advertisement!
