te someto translation help

Question

I'm trying to figure out the nuances of this phrase: te someto. Directly translated I come up with I submit to you, or I submit. But can this phrase also mean I make you submit// to me you submit// I subdue you// I dominate you. I'm finding it difficult because someter can mean both to dominate and to submit so I'm trying to figure out what the most direct and used meaning of this phrase is.

Bienvenido a SD. My wife often said to me -"Me someto a ti mi amante." Well in my dreams anyway . Buena suerte amigo. - ray76, Nov 26, 2014

Answer 1

It can only be "I submit something for your consideration" or "I conquer / dominate you". But as Sanlee said, there is no context so how can you expect anyone to tell you the nuance?

It was sent to me in a message when I was flirting with someone. were both males so I couldn't tell if he was trying to act macho and say he was going to dominate me or if he was acting passive and saying he wanted to submit to me. - despistado, Nov 26, 2014

Just like in English it is in Spanish

submit = send

submit = conquer/subdue

Te someto = I subdue you

Answer 3

Most times someter (a) means "to subject (to)", but if there's a person being the direct object of this verb, more probably than not it will be about domination.

Answer 4

I think we need some context. Do you have this word as it is used in a sentence?
