what does "mi mente maquinea" mean?

Question

i know "mi mente" is my mind but i can't figure out "maquinea"

Answer 1

Gintar77 is correct.

But many people say "maquinear" instead of maquinar.

In essence it means "to plot" but most people use it as "idear" or in this case depending of context, it could also mean that "my mind works" that is functional.

Answer 2

I don't know "maquinear" but "maquinar" means "to plot".

Mi mente maquina = My mind is plotting/My mind plots

Answer 3

Maquinear is "slang" for Plot, most central American countries use the word maquinear in song lyrics just flows better. It means my mind is plotting or working in an endless way, like a machine. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Check out the English use of it: machination

As often, a relatively abstract word can be seen to be a fairly common latin derivate that you will come across more often in written rather than in spoken English, (these days, unless you are a literate speaker of English in the UK)

A typical example might be in journalese, I'll go for a tabloid headline:

Machiavellian machinations manipulate middle-class maneuvers

Here's a slangy guess or two for the phrase:

"mi mente maquinea"

"That flips me out"

"The mind boggles"

"My brain is churning"

"There's food for thought"

Answer 5

Hard to tell exactly, but máquina is machine. But "my mind machine" doesn't make any sense. Mechanical mind maybe?
