Question

¿Está listo para dejarse pitufar?

I saw this on an advert and don't know what it means.

And yes, it had a smurf on it

I gues it's something like are you ready for anything?

Your're quite right in being astonished. You would never find this word in a dictionary. - bzcenci, Aug 1, 2011

Answer 1

Ready to get smurf'ed? is how Sherton translates it.

The perfect grafic answer. It is all a creation of modern publicity. It is a shame for both languages. - bzcenci, Aug 1, 2011

quite good actually. why not play with words... - dewclaw, Aug 1, 2011

Have you ever seen the original cartoon? That was their "thing". The Smurfs used the word "smurf" as a verb all the time. :-) - gintar77, Aug 1, 2011

Answer 2

Fine up until the "anything". "pitufar" is not a real word (perhaps the made-up equivalent for "to smurf").

Answer 3

It is just a slogan, this means nothing, really.

Answer 4

Simply, that's no have a mean doesn't make sense.

"Pitufar" could be a an invented verb derivated derived from "Pitufos", the blue gnomes.

Are you ready for smurfing? maybe is may be the best translation.

Simplemente, eso no tiene significado.

"Pitufar" puede ser un verbo inventado derivado de "Pitufos", los gnomos azules.

Are you ready for smurfing? quizás es la mejor traducción.

Hey Krassa :) en la primera linea - That doesn't make sense. Y la segunda 'derived' :) Bien hecho - Kiwi-Girl, Jul 31, 2011

Bienvenido al foro, Krassa. - --Mariana--, Jul 31, 2011

"aN" invented... and "derived" works better... plus, may_be (space) & no "is" the best.... you're doing great, amigo! :) - cristalino, Jul 31, 2011

Thank you both :)... But Mariana, *an* meaning, is correct use AN instead of A? - Krassa, Jul 31, 2011

utiliza 'an' antes de las palabras que comienzan con una vocal - an invented - Kiwi-Girl, Jul 31, 2011

if you don't know what "pitufos" are, the expression might have very suspect overtones - bzcenci, Aug 1, 2011

one of the first lessons in English is that the article is "a" and it takes an "n" before a word starting with a vocal. - bzcenci, Aug 1, 2011

Answer 5

This might help

When used as a verb, the word "Smurf" typically means "to make," "to be," "to laugh," or "to do."

I didn't find "smurf" in the Oxford dictionary - bzcenci, Aug 1, 2011

Answer 6

I have always hated those little blue gnomes, but what I find most offending is that some spanish speaking barbarians have created a new verb for making publicity for the film. On top of that, the expression "dejarse pitufar" is highly equivocal.

Answer 7

Only this sentence is to movie promotion. People don´t say this word...

Answer 8

Some old school (skool) for those who are just now becoming acquainted with all things Smurf.... a singer called Tyron Brunson started it all, you might say:

The OS (Original Smurf)
