¿Cómo se dice "humor me"?

Question

Andaba paseando hoy con un amigo cuando se encaprichó que quería comprarse un carro usado y quería que yo lo acompañara. Bueno, por fin no compró nada pero quiso darme las gracias. Me preguntó cómo decir "thanks for humoring me" en español pero no supe cómo decirlo.

¿Tal vez "Gracias por complacerme (los caprichos)"?

I was riding around with a friend when he got into his head that he wanted to buy himself a used car and he wanted me to accompany him. Well, he didn't end up buying anything, but he wanted to thank me. He asked me how to say "thanks for humoring me" in Spanish but I didn't know how to say it.

Answer 1

Very good thought. But in actual day to day conversation, the situation you described could best be said as, Gracias por seguirme la corriente. At least in Mexico.

¡Genial, gracias Rey! I have heard this expression but it didn't come to mind at that moment. Translate something like "Thanks for playing along", right? - gintar77, May 30, 2011

Answer 2

Arturo- ¿Quieres que le haga creer a todos que soy tu esposo, y sólo para fastidiar a Marcela?

Antonia- Vamos, compláceme.

So, are you saying that in the context of my situation I could have used complacer? In your example, could you also use "sigueme la corriente"? - gintar77, May 30, 2011

Pretty much; you could use either - 002067fe, May 30, 2011
