Machacadles

Question

I was thumbing around for this word, but I can't seem to find a definition. I tried breaking it up to see if it was possibly a combination, but to no avail. Has anyone heard this word or know what it means?

Thanks, Stormy

P.S. The villain shouted this in a Final Fantasy game I found. It was translated into Español by a group from Spain.

Answer 1

The verb machacar means to crush or pound. So it appears that it would mean "They've been crushed" or "They've been pounded."

I would assume that the person was celebrating a victory.

Answer 2

¡Machacadles! is the 2nd personal plural for imperativo - In other words Crush them!!!!

Answer 3

Given Echoline's explanation of the verb machacar

It would be a vosotros command with les attached.

Machacad +les.

(Crush them). You know the Spaniards and their leísmos.

Answer 4

That makes perfect sense, but I still don't understand the spelling. Although, I could have transcribed it incorrectly. Thank you.

Answer 5

Ah, okay, I had thought that it was something like that. Thank you. Verbs with pronouns on the end always throw me off. :(
