As if you we're talking to a couple people and you were leaving and you wanted them to watch someone who was sneaky. Would you say mirenlo? Or miranlo?

maybe, Garcia, you could fill in something on your profile, it would benice to know alittle about you. - annierats, Oct 18, 2012
P.S. Mirenlo, means 'Look at him' rather than look out, watch out for , keep an eye on.. - annierats, Oct 18, 2012

I want the exact translation

Number 1) Be nice! You're asking for help on the forum and a "please" and "thank you" will go a long way. We are real people here on the forum answering questions and not machine translators.

Number 2) Many times we cannot simply translate words from one language to another. Rather, we must translate the meaning of what you're trying to say...the essence of the communication. Word-for-word translations often don't make sense.

Maybe here's something you want:

"ojo con él; ella; eso..etc."

Neither. You'd say. Ten cuidado con esta persona, que luce sospechosa.

I think ' vigilar ' might work :

¿Podaís vigilarlo? - Can you keep an eye on him?
