Answer 1

Voy a poner un traje azul en la fiesta. I am going to wear a blue suit for the party. To describe what someone wore or is wearing use Llevar. El hombre llevó un traje azul. The man wore a blue suit. La chica lleva una cola. The girl wears a pony tail.(hair style) Llevo gafas. I wear glasses. etc.

Thank you very much as this has just saved me a lot of time & will hopefully help me to get a good grade! Thank you for your time and help! :) - abdulahmed980, May 14, 2012

Answer 2

Alrighty, Well since you said you tried, I will help as best as I can. Haha

Ok, so you want to know how to say 'I'm going to wear...' right? As in many situations, you can use the simple future to tell what is going to happen in the near future. This is formed using a form of ir + a + infinitive (verb)

Since the (yo) conjugation of 'ir' is voy (indeed irregular), you would say voy + a + infinitive (verb)

Now you need the word for 'to wear'. (Since you said you have tried to use translators) The word is 'llevar'. Now you have your simple future tense. 'Voy a llevar....'

To finish, just plug in what you are going to wear... una camisa azul, perhaps.

Voy a llevar los calcetines. Voy a llevar los pantalones. Voy a llevar un sombrero.

Vas a llevar una camisa. (You are going to wear a shirt.)

Va a llevar una camisa. (He/She is going to wear a shirt.)

Vamos a llevar una camisa. (We're going to wear a shirt./Let's wear a shirt.)

Van a llevar una camisa. (They're going to wear a shirt.)

*Just something a little extra at the end

Llevar does not mean to wear. It means to carry or take or transport. - kdrinning, May 13, 2012

Answer 3

We definitely learned Llevar, both from professor and text, as both Wear and Carry. Of course I¨m not experienced enough to fully validate that, but llevar sure looks valid as carry.

We did learn poner too, but only in the context of putting on clothing, but not for wearing.

Anyway, that´s another datapoint, even if not a definitive one.

good luck roger

Answer 4

"Poner" means to "put on" only. To use it as "to wear" is incorrect.

Aside from "llevar," we can also use simply "de," ie: "Voy de camisa blanca y pantalón negro," which is a shortened form of "vestido de."

Answer 5

As for the above answer, yes, you would say "Voy a ..." However, this is not the future tense. This is a way of using the present tense to say what you are going to do. This is the most common way to say you are going to do something, at least in Texas where I live. It is meant to say something in the near future, but I still hear it used for the distant future.

I have never hear llevar used as to wear. Llevar means to carry, take, transport, etc.

Poner can mean to wear, but I hear many Spanish speaking people say "usar" as in they are going to use whatever it is that they are going to wear. I have wondered about this. Can anyone shed some light?

It is the most common way of stating what you are going to do inthe future whether it be near or distant future. El año que viene voy a ir a las islas Baleares. Next year I am going to the Balearic island.s - kenwilliams, May 13, 2012

Answer 6

you can also use the verb usar as wear.
