What does que a mi sobra mean?

Question

Hola mis amigos, I need help with the following sentence..."y creo que a mi sobra de lo que el tiene", I have tried translating it in different ways and it just doesn't make sense, can anyone make sense of this sentence? Thank you my friends

Answer 1

First, can we agree that the verb Sobrar (to be left over) is being used?

It should be a mí and él tiene.

and I think that to me is left over.....that which he has

I would guess that the sentence is trying to say " I believe that what he has left over is mine", but that would only be a guess. I do not think that the sentence is grammatically correct. It seems to be missing an i.o.p., at the least.

Possibly:

As for myself, I believe that what he has is left over.

The more that I look at it, ignore my reply. I don't know.

yes, you were right, a mí was missing, good one, quen,you missed the meaning though - 00494d19, Nov 17, 2011

Answer 2

"y creo que a mí a mi sobra de lo que el tiene",

this means basically:

I have more than he has.

A mí me sobra: I have more than I need

This sounds like some kind of sexual implication

I agree, a near colloquial phrase would be I have more than enough of what he's got. - lagartijaverde, Nov 17, 2011
