Object pronouns and accents

Question

For the English phrase, "You rock!" (singular), can this Spanish translation be used:

¡Mécete!

If so, do I have the accent in the correct place?

---

If I wanted the mixed gender, plural of "You rock!" could either of these two be used?

¡Mécedos!
¡Mézanlos!

If so, do I have the accents in the correct place?

Muchas gracias!

This "You rock" means that you are cool? - Chyeko, Mar 21, 2013

Yes, in the sense that the person has done something well. - bandit51jd, Mar 21, 2013

Then you would never say ¡mécete! or anything like this, because that would have a literal meaning. You need to say: ¡Bien hecho! (Well done!) or ¡Cómo mola! (That's really cool!). I will write down some expressions for you. - Chyeko, Mar 21, 2013

Another encouragement word is: stupendous / estupendo - bandit51jd, Apr 30, 2013

Answer 1

¡Cómo mola! That's really cool! - ¡Impresionante! Amazing! - ¡Qué pasada! That's awesome! - ¡Eres un genio! You are a genius! - ¡Muy agudo! Very smart! - ¡Lo has hecho genial! You did it great! - ¡Buen trabajo! Great job! - ¡Bien hecho! Well done!

Those are great, Chyeko!!!! - jessicamccall117, Mar 21, 2013

*_* Thank you. - Chyeko, Mar 21, 2013

These are exactly what I´m looking for! Muchas gracias! - bandit51jd, Mar 22, 2013

Answer 2

Well, I see two issues regarding this:

In general, the slang idiom “you rock” has little to do with the verb mecer, and is not a command.

You are not telling someone to sway back and forth when you say you rock:

Here is a link here that discusses Spanish options for expressing this kind of concept:

That being said, if you were actually trying to give someone the command to rock (themselves, like in a rocking chair), you need to use the reflex pronouns correctly:

Imperativo

mécete

mézase

mezámonos

meceos

mézanse

enter link description here

When giving a vosotros command with a reflexive verb, remove the final -d and add the vosotros reflexive pronoun os to the end of the verb.

With the “ustedes” form you did not use the reflexive form, you instead are telling them to rock some other things/people (such as babies in a crib or ?)
