"si voy a salir por internet"

Question

Si voy a salir por internet". Means "If I go on line"?

Answer 1

Link to Jermias' alusion (La invitó a salir por Internet y aceptó...He invited her online to go out and she accepted)

video on same

I was curious as to whether they went on an internet date (a virtual date) or whether the invitation was made over the internet to go on a real date. Apparently, the invitation was made online for an actual real-word date (dance).

The guy is in the U.S. Marines. It was an invitation to accompany him to the Marine Corps Ball, a very formal event to celebrate the founding of the U.S. Marine Corps. - MrSillyInc, Sep 20, 2011

Answer 2

The complete sentence is"Si voy a salir por Internet,quiero hacer más que recitar mis clases.....".and is from the nexos textbook of my Spanish class page 74.So the question is how do you translate this sentence?

And is it referring to having a relationship on the internet? If I'm going to go out (with him/her) on the internet then I want to do more than recite my lessons. Just a guess though. - Kiwi-Girl, Sep 19, 2011

Answer 3

I am not sure if "salir por internet" means to go on line. There was a story recently about a marine who invited Mila Kunis to go out (to a dance) with him via the internet. The story in Spanish uses the phrase "salir por internet" to mean he asked her out via the internet. My guess is that may be where you found the phrase.

But you can be asked to go out via the internet but you can't go out via the internet, so I still don't understand the phrase. If you gave some more context maybe it would make more sense, although I could be missing something.

Suerte!

Haven't you ever heard of WoW dates, where couples meet online and perform quests and hang out together? - MrSillyInc, Sep 20, 2011

Answer 4

What are you asking? This is a fragment, it has no subject. "If I go" is a prep. And "On line" is a prep.

If by "prep" you mean preposition, I am sorry to say that neither "If I go" nor "on line" is a preposition. - Jeremias, Sep 19, 2011

It sounded very grammatical, however. - 0074b507, Sep 20, 2011

Answer 5

Just bumping this thread in case a native speaker can help

Answer 6

Go on line is often translated buscar en la red if you're referring to go and search for something on line, if it's just going on line then you can use ir a conectarse or estar conectado al internet o la red or even entra online lol.

To translate 'if I go online' I would say 'si me conecto' - your phrase actually seems closer to 'if I go off-line' just kidding that would be desconectado!
