Será digno de verse

Question

I can't tell if this is a misprint or not, because I think this wants to say "That would be worthy of verse" (a common English expression meaning, that would be worth making a song about). Could it mean, that would be worth seeing though? Why verse? and not just ver in that case? Gracias.

Answer 1

verse=to look, be seen. So my guess would be worthy of being seen. You know, the impersonal se: "se ve en el frente de la tienda"- it's seen in the front of the store.

That would be my guess too, except that "diigno de" means worthy of, and they are talking about a grand adventure, worthy of verse, so I can't tell if it's a translation problem which it could be. - jeezzle, Nov 4, 2010

Yes, Ashlita is right. - Gekkosan, Nov 4, 2010

Answer 2

as Ashlita has suggested... "digno de verse" means "worthy of being seen"...

"worthy of verse"... I can't think of a phrase in Spanish that's near that... it could be "digno de alabanza"... "worthy of being worshiped"

wouldn´t digno de albanza be ´worthy to be praised´?. - mediterrunio, Nov 4, 2010

Answer 3

worthy to be seen is a correct literal translation.

digno de verse is the same as que merece ser visto, that deserves to be seen

For instance:

El salar de Uyuni es un espectáculo digno de verse.

Uyuni salt flat is a show worthy to be seen.
