Can conspirar mean "counting on you" too?

Question

Said to a friend "Te estamos conspirandos" when he needed there help. Certainly not "We are conspiring against you". Does it have both meanings? like "estamos contando contigo"

"Te estamos conspirandos" cannot possibly be what you heard. I read the various answers and arguments but it's still not Spanish and it does not make sense. - Gekkosan, Dec 25, 2011

It might have been a bad dub, Unfortunately I already watched 52 episodes of that show this week in Spanish, I can't possibly find where I "heard" this now ;) - jeezzle, Dec 25, 2011

Answer 1

I agree with chileno too, conspirar doesn't mean "to count on", in any case.

The last meaning: 4. tr. ant. Convocar, llamar alguien en su favor, only would make sense if your friends speak in old Spanish, and even so it's hard to understand how it can mean "to count on".

It does not make sense to me. Apart from that, normally conspirar is not attached to any pronoun. It sounds very odd.

Te conspiramos.

Te?

Answer 2

The fourth one says "to call on someone" to conspirate...

it still not "to count on you"

to conspire" pero "llamar alguien en su favor" - eso no es "conspire" en ingles. para nada. - - jeezzle, Dec 25, 2011

Answer 3

Jeezzle:

To conspire does not mean to count on you, in Spanish or English.

OF course not in English but you see what the dictionary says and how the show used it. - jeezzle, Dec 25, 2011

Must be unusual - jeezzle, Dec 25, 2011

Answer 4

RAE

conspirar. (Del lat. conspir?re). 1. intr. Dicho de varias personas: Unirse contra su superior o soberano. 2. intr. Dicho de varias personas: Unirse contra un particular para hacerle daño. 3. intr. Dicho de dos o más cosas: Concurrir a un mismo fin. 4. tr. ant. Convocar, llamar alguien en su favor.

I guess the second one might be used if you wanted to show that you're united with them in the same cause, co-conspirators kind of thing?

ooops I meant the third one not the second! - Kiwi-Girl, Dec 25, 2011

Yeah I figured. I think the fourth is best though what do you think? - jeezzle, Dec 25, 2011

QUOTE I guess the second one might be used if you wanted to show that you're united with them in the same cause, co-conspirators kind of thing? / QUJOTE

I don't think that's what the second one is saying there - not with my sentence, but the third and fourth both seem to fit.

3: We're together til the end.

4: We're calling for your help.

But I wonder if it's used in Mexico like this?

yes I meant the third one but yeah the fourth one is probably even better for fitting your sentence - Kiwi-Girl, Dec 25, 2011

I agree with Chileno. I don't care what the dictionary says, that does not make any sense whatsoever. - Gekkosan, Dec 25, 2011

Ok, so it's just " - jeezzle, Dec 25, 2011

Conspire then, I'll remember that. - jeezzle, Dec 25, 2011
