You did not get dressed up for me

Question

I want to say "You did not get dressed up for me". I know the word is vestir but I can't conjugate it right.

Answer 1

you did not get dressed up for me ...... no te vestiste para mí

Answer 2

I don't think that To get dressed up (ponerse elegante) is the same as simply to get dressed (ponerse, vestirse).

After a little research, I believe one option would be...

No te pusiste elegante para mí. (You didn't get all dressed up for me.)

or

No te has puesto elegante para mí. (You haven't got all dressed up for me.)

or ponerse guapa - lorenzo9, May 6, 2011

Yeah, that sounds even better to me. - webdunce, May 6, 2011

I got my phrase out of a dictionary...but it kind of sounds like something out of a dictionary. - webdunce, May 6, 2011

Answer 3

I think it is: "tú no vestiste para mi" I think "you" is the subject so I don't think the object pronoun "te" works and ¨me¨ is the direct object so I don´t think an indirect object pronoun is required. I think you could omit tú and just say "no vestiste para mí.

I´m learning so if I´m wrong I hope someone will let me know, nicely.

The te is required or else one wonder whom or what one dressed. (Or, put another way, vestir means to dress someone else while vestirse means to dress oneself). Hope that helps. - webdunce, May 6, 2011

Or, literally, "You didn't dress yourself for me." - webdunce, May 6, 2011
