Question

Hi, watching a Mexican novela and someone said,

"Me sacaste de onda. No te vi."

What does the first sentence mean?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Hola Jenita7

Me sacaste de onda - Literal You took me off the wave

Means "you took me by surprise", or "I'm all shook up".

btw here's another onda phrase : )

Agarra la onda - Literal - catch or grasp the wave

Means "get with it"

Thanks so much for the helpful answer! - Jenita7, Jan 29, 2014

Denny, didn´t you mean "to get it" (grasp the meaning)? - 005faa61, Jan 29, 2014

I'll assume that's more correct Julian. When I first started learning Spanish and was making a lot of mistakes, a Spanish speaking friend said that to me. His English was limited so maybe that was not the best translation. - dennywells, Jan 29, 2014

Useful phrase! 'get it' seems to be the best translation from Google research. Linguee says that it might also be 'get the hang of it'. So cool. - Helado_eclectico, Jan 29, 2014

Answer 2

From mexicomagazine.com:

Una de las mayores dificultades fue el mismo tema del desnudo, pues al escuchar la palabra muchos de nuestros convocados se sacaban de onda

Se sacaban de onda = they were freaked out/frightened/panicked

So 'me sacaste de onda' probably means 'you freaked me out', which goes well with 'no te ví' (I didn't see you).

Helpful, thanks! - Jenita7, Jan 29, 2014

Answer 3

Look the word 'onda' up. I remember when I visited Mexico they had loads of phrases using 'onda' eg: buena onda Here it is the phrase sacar de onda which has various meaning including surprised or bewildered.

In your phrase I think it is: You surprised me, I didn't see you.

However, it is popular in Mexico but may not be understand in Spain.

Thanks, I think you "hit it on the nose". That was kind of what I was suspecting already. :) - Jenita7, Jan 29, 2014

Answer 4

It almost looks like older Spanish. Try using the SpanishDict translator. Just click on the Translate button up there next to the SPANISHDICT word. Type in Spanish or English, and get the translation.

Buena Suerta

I can't understand it very well, so that's why I'm suggesting the translator. - 00ffada9, Jan 29, 2014
