Does anyone have a good translation for "ya te vale"

It seems to mean - fine, no problem, sure thing, of course.

Could someone please give an example of its usage in a dialogue? Thanks

............ judging by the response below it would seem that my answers were only correct if said with an ironic tone and or a deep sigh ..... do you agree?

I would say that ya te vale is a mix of the following:

  • "You are a piece of work!"
  • "You are something else!"
  • "Now you've really done it!"

With a little bit of "shame on you!" and "how dare you?"

  • ¿Cómo has podido engañar a tu novia?, ¡ya te vale!
  • No he estudiado nada, no me extraña que haya suspendido el examen, ¡ya me vale!
  • ¿Te has bajado los pantalones delante de todo el mundo?, ¡ya te vale!

Vale, viene de valor (El precio de algo)

Ya, es casi como: Now (Ahora)

Por ejemplo preguntas a alguien sobre la vigencia de un boleto y esa persona te dice: Ya no te vale. O A partir de mañana te vale, o si es ese mismo día: Ya te vale. Aunque preferirían decir: Ya está disponible, palabras formales.

O cuando discutes con tu pareja y le dices: Lo que haga, diga o sienta ya te vale. (Ya no te importa)

..... further update after speaking to Raul in Madrid last night. He broke it down like this.

vale = approx - ok / of value / valid

te vale = ok for you / good for you / valid for you ... with emphasis on it only being good for you and not for other

ya te vale = ya emphasizes the phrase

In English you can say "bully for you" which seems to capture the essence of what he was saying

Así, imagínate que quieres beber una taza de café por la mañana. Tu bajas las escaleras y tu pareja te dice que acaba de beber una buen taza de café pero no te queda más. Podrías decirle, ya te vale.

Gracias por corregirme si descubres algunos errores en mi español.
