When someone denies a request and you are trying to persuade them in your favor its common to say ''Come on!'' in the US. How would this translate to spanish, please illustrate with an example sentance . Thanks.

You can also say "venga." For example, a a kid is told it's time to stop watching TV and says, "Venga, cinco minutos más."

I just reread some of your comments to the other answers and I get the impression that you're going for the defeated "come on!" rather than the "come on, please" that asks someone to change their mind. Venga works more for the second sort.

I think "venga" in this sense means "ok" - a-YU-dar, Dec 9, 2012
Y como se expresaría de la otra manera? - Ox-Y-Gen, Dec 9, 2012

Not in this sense, a-YU-dar. When someone says venga and then something they want, it's like 'come on.' - MacFadden, Dec 9, 2012

Maybe try please. - rac1, Dec 9, 2012
But the question is... Does this carry a prolonged sense of dissapointment? It seems i have to stretch the intonation to get proper feeling. - Ox-Y-Gen, Dec 9, 2012
If you really want to persuade someone in your favor, please goes a long way. - rac1, Dec 9, 2012

lol.........lol !!!! - a-YU-dar, Dec 9, 2012
El uso de ''lol'' dos veces en una respuesta me preocupa. Pero no había pensado en usar sonidos universsales para expresar el significado que quería. - Ox-Y-Gen, Dec 9, 2012
