Can someone translate this? thanks!

Question

What does this mean??

en tu foto sales bien, te queda bien ese hilito

Answer 1

You look good in the photo, the linen/ g-string (you are wearing) suits you well.

hilo - linen

I think an hilito is a g-string. But I agree with your thoughts here. If you want a (unpleasant and not safe for work) shock, google hilito in the image search with safesearch off. :) - jeezzle, Oct 23, 2011

Sounds good to me. - Goyo, Oct 23, 2011

I think that is a traje de hilo, if she took it off, I think it's an hilito underneath but I could be wrong? ;) - jeezzle, Oct 23, 2011

Wow, now that's something.... :))) - Gocika, Oct 23, 2011

Ok now? :) - Gocika, Oct 23, 2011

Answer 2

Le dijo Bozo In your photo you turned out well. You turned out fine in this little thread.

This thread is a perfect example of the value of getting guidance from a native speaker. (Or someone with lots of real-life experience with the language, like jeezle.)

There was nothing technically wrong with my translation, but I had no idea that "hilito" was a string bikini. Spanish speakers are always using diminutives, and so it made perfect sense to me.

Wow. Great job guys.

Answer 3

Thanks so much! =)

I don't think so... - Gocika, Oct 23, 2011

Answer 5

In English, we sometimes use the word thread about computers to mean: a series of newsgroup messages dealing with the same subject.

See the same use in Spanish in number 6 of our dictionary: http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/hilo

thread (de discurso, conversación) perder el hilo -> to lose the thread seguir el hilo -> to follow (the thread) tomar o retomar el hilo (de la conversación) -> to pick up the thread (of the conversation) esto viene al hilo de lo que dijimos ayer -> this relates to what we were saying yesterday hilo argumental -> line of argument

Answer 6

thanks so much, but one question more what does thread mean in this sentence? English is not my first language....
