What does "Sip estoy hecha en cuero" mean?

Question

This was said to a male by a female.

I think "sip" or even sipi" menas "yep" - it does in Bolivia. - ian-hill, Jun 6, 2011

You're correct Ian. =) - DJ_Huero, Jun 6, 2011

Answer 1

Well, looks like the lesson to be learned here, find out where she is from because she is either saying she's sexy (kind of conceited) or she's admitting she's easy (aka a whore). Jaja, both sounds like a losing situation to me, over-prideful or sleasy, not my types.

"estoy hecha un cuero". In this context is a coquettish attitude rather than a whorish. - elekt786, Feb 7, 2012

"sleazy". - Gekkosan, Feb 7, 2012

sanctimonious - elekt786, Feb 7, 2012

Answer 2

She means that "she is very sexy or beautiful". Si, "estoy hecha un cuero". She is talking like a mexican girl.

Thanks for replying. My friend saw this text from some girl on her boyfriend's phone. We thought it meant "I'm naked" or something to that effect... - Makeupgirl19, Jun 5, 2011

We looked up cuero in the online Spanish translator and one of the definitions was: en cuero=naked. Could she be saying that she was naked? Because he responded by saying, "hasta no ver no creer!!!" and then she said she'd send him a picture... - Makeupgirl19, Jun 5, 2011

That is what she said. Then he said "until I see it I won't believe it" - fatchocobo, Jun 5, 2011

Thanks. That really helps. - Makeupgirl19, Jun 5, 2011

Right, he want to see "how gorgeous is this woman". - 00a4c226, Jun 6, 2011

También podría haber dicho "estoy hecha un mango", o "me derrito de buena". También son expresiones mexicanas. - elekt786, Feb 7, 2012

Answer 3

Just don't ever say that if you happen to be in Puerto Rico. Saying "estoy hecha un cuero" there is equal to saying "I've become a slut/whore".

Really? Omg! Thanks... - Makeupgirl19, Jun 5, 2011

Answer 4

In Mexico:

Estar en cueros = to be naked.

--No puedo salir, estoy en cueros.

Estar hecho(a) un cuero = to be gorgeous. To be in a terrific shape.

--Me encanta Cameron Diaz: está hecha un cuero!

--Y qué me dices de Penélpe Cruz? También está hecha un cuero.

(Please, feel free to add your own examples).

También podría haber dicho "estoy hecha un mango", o "me derrito de buena". También son expresiones mexicanas. - elekt786, Feb 7, 2012

"estoy hecha un cuero" does not imply that she is naked at all, yet it is not impossible. - elekt786, Feb 7, 2012

Answer 5

My Columbian mother-in-law used to call women "cuero" or "leather" when they "had been around." The implication was that they were "easy."

Oh I see. So in that context "Si, estoy hecha in cuero" could she be saying that she is easy or been around? - Makeupgirl19, Jun 5, 2011

As my mother-in-law used the phrase it was an insult. Not something one would say about oneself. - JoyceM, Jun 6, 2011

Joyce, it's "Colombian". - 002067fe, Jun 6, 2011

Answer 6

I'll be darned!

I was not familiar with either the expression or any of the meanings assigned to it! Learn something new every day....

If I'd had to guess, I'd have never thought it had anything to do with beauty! I mean, a piece of leather? Not how I'd compliment a lady, for sure...

'cause you are not Latino! - elekt786, Feb 7, 2012

Well, now - *that's* one accusation no one had ever made before! :-D So out of curiosity, how would you know? - Gekkosan, Feb 7, 2012

Quién sabe, tal vez hasta soy mexicano y todo, ¿eh? ;-) - Gekkosan, Feb 7, 2012

It seems that your observation comes from a translation rather than from a direct living experience ("vivencia"). - elekt786, Feb 8, 2012

Answer 7

Sip = si pe (= si pues, in Peru)

Answer 8

"estoy hecha un cuero" does not imply that she is naked at all, yet it is not impossible, at least in Mexico.

Answer 9

Hmmm in Chile that phrase would mean "Yes, I am rough (like leather)"

Generally, said by a woman who has been hurt by a man, said sarcastically.

EDIT: Also,

Tener un buen cuero = to have a good body.
