A conversation I do not understand

Question

Watching motorcycle diaries and got the Spanish subs to it. There is no context. These two guys just talk to each other randomly about everything, it's all out of context.

00:31:04,348 --> 00:31:08,842 Ernestito.

Traeme la bombachita yanqui de Miami. Bring me the sexy yankee undies from Miami.

00:31:08,919 --> 00:31:11,012

¿No te das cuenta?

Nunca se la vas a ver puesta.

Don't you get it? You are never going to see her wear them.

391

00:31:11,088 --> 00:31:15,218

Nunca se la va a sacar tampoco. **

And you are never going to take them off either. 392

00:31:16,226 --> 00:31:16,851

Fuser.

393

00:31:21,565 --> 00:31:24,625

¿Sabés cuál es el problema, Fuser? You know what your problem is Fuser?

I don't get the "Nunca se la vas a ver puesta" or the following line. "Nunca se la va a sacar tampoco"

Why se la vas a ver? Why puesta? What does that mean? Why se la va? Why sacar, that doesn't make "take out" does it? in that context?

I don't get it at all.

Not the constructions or the sentences.

Gracias.

Jeezle I have sent you a pm regarding the "strawmaker" - Eddy, Oct 28, 2011

Answer 1

Let's see, Jeezz:

Llevar (algo) puesto means to wear (something)

Me pongo una bombachita yanqui: I put on a bombachita yanqui, so the bombachita yanqui is being worn (puesta) by me

A "bombachita yanqui" means woman interior clothes: panties, knickers

vas a ver = you will see

Nunca se (to her) la (the bombachita yanqui) vas a ver puesta.

You will never see her wearing it (the bombachita yanqui)

Sacarse (ropa)= to take off clothes

Nunca se (belongs to the verb) la (la bombachita yanqui) va a sacar tampoco

She will never take it (the bombachita yanqui) off, either.

Very good explanation/translation cogu. - annierats, Oct 28, 2011

Answer 2

I've watched the film a few times, Jeez. I seem to remember he'd bought a bikini (maybe it was underwear though, as Cogu says) for the girlfriend he left behind, so that would all make sense.

I love that film. Especially the part where he swims across the river.

Yeah, I think the spanish subs aren't timed right. - jeezzle, Oct 28, 2011

Answer 3

And have a look at pajero , jeez

Oops!!! I sent him a pm. - Eddy, Oct 28, 2011

Thats why we always refer to our car as just a Mitsubishi instead of it's full name Mitsubishi Pajero!! - caza, Oct 28, 2011

Answer 4

Ok, I have been at work all day since early so let's see about this: (also I spoke to Maria about it)

Let's see, Jeezz:

Llevar (algo) puesto means to wear (something)

I know about tener / llevar algo puesto/a but it seems weird without tener / llevar. I suppose following an infinitive like "verlo puesta" it works? Maria says: if you see puesto/a it means wear more than not.

Me pongo una bombachita yanqui: I put on a bombachita yanqui, so the bombachita yanqui is being worn (puesta) by me

A "bombachita yanqui" means woman interior clothes: panties, knickers

Ok from bombacha, like bragas this word is not understood here (they say "calzonas")

vas a ver = you will see

Yes.

Nunca se (to her) la (the bombachita yanqui) vas a ver puesta.

You will never see her wearing it (the bombachita yanqui)

Sacarse (ropa)= to take off clothes

Everyone at work said "Sacar? clothes? no, no quitar".. So this must weird / unusual too.

Nunca se (belongs to the verb no entiendo lo que quieres decir) la (la bombachita yanqui antiquated word) va a sacar tampoco

She will never take it (the bombachita yanqui) off, either.

So ......."Nunca se la vas a ver puesta" . "Nunca se la va a sacar tampoco" are the oddballs and here is what I see now.

1. Nunca se la vas a ver puesta. You will never see her wear it. Se = on her. I believe it should still work without se, and the se just means (on her) (nunca vas a verla puesta) maybe not.

2. Nunca se la va a sacar tampoco. Everyone wondered about sacarse so I will remember this as "advanced level" and not as "everyday" and learn it slowly.

Gracias.
