Ya que no te asoma?

Question

Ya que no te asomas, iré por la puerta de atrás.

Since you do not you appear, go through the back door.

The above is a machine translation which does not make sense. I am trying to get a sense of the verb asomarse but I can't find any examples. What is the real meaning of the sentence above, por favor?

Answer 1

Asomarse means opening the curtains slightly and watch behind the glass. Or it also means to open a window and stick out the head a little bit.

Answer 2

Hola a todos:

I am not proficient enough to explain this in spanish. From spanish to english ''asomarse"' would be hiding your body behind the door and looking out from behind the door, or some similar equivalent eg: looking around the corner of something.The sun for example can ''asomarse'' from behind the clouds (in a more poetical context.).

Answer 3

Gracias Antoine, that helps but since we are not talking about glass but coming through the back door who is not appearing and who is peeking or not peeking? Are we talking about the person in the house looking at a person outside who is not appearing and telling that person to go to the back door? Sorry, I am having trouble with the subject of the sentence.
