Cogame

Question

Does anyone know what this word says? ¡Cogame! I don't know if there are accents.

Answer 1

coger means 'to take' as well as 'to catch' eg a bus
A phrase from wr is: (sostener) to hold: cógeme el bolso un momento, por favor, please hold my bag for a moment
cógeme (Ud.) cójame (tú)

In much of Latin America coger has sexual overtones so that saying ¡Cójame! may be very unwise.

Answer 2

Correct about coger, we were told in class to use agarrar instead.

I heard that one has a sexual connotation as well =D... The safest verb to use is 'tomar'. - NikkiLR, ABR 14, 2012

Answer 3

Yes , that's right as far as the guttural 'ge' and 'ja' go; with cógame the cog would sound like the English cog (of a wheel).

Guillermo, I don't think that Anna was referring to the 'e' or 'a' but to the ge or ga

Answer 4

They are not pronounced the same. You were right before. Besides, in several countries of Latin America, if you say "cógeme", you would be asking someone to F''' you. Sou I wouldn't use it if I'm not in Spain.

Answer 5

Ahh I think I get it. Then cójame and cógeme are pronounced the same - "CO-haw-meh" ? Because I would have pronounced cógeme as "CO-hey-me".

Answer 6

Yes if you're asking a friend to 'take you' then it is cógeme or if you're being polite cójame -it is an imperative and the ending changes depending on who you talk to. The 'g' and 'j' change to preserve the sound of the word

Coger in Iberian Spanish is fine for 'to take' if used about an inanimate object. Coger el autobús is OK -but in Mexico even this might get you a few sniggers.

Answer 7

So let me get this straight. Cógeme (tu) and cójame (Ud.) mean the same thing? "take me" or "F''' me". (sorry, trying to keep it clean) sticky subject!

Answer 8

Certainly in Latin America -but: take me! would sound a bit dubious even in English!

Sorry I was too slow to correct my mistake above
I got the Ud. and tú versions the wrong way around.

Answer 9

Ahhh... so if it's sexual it's more or less "take me." '
