ESPABILADES

Question

DOES ANYONE OUT THERE KNOW WHAT THIS WORD MEANS AND IF SO, COULD YOU USE IT IN A SENTENCE.

Answer 1

It is the same meaning (smart, quick, bright), but used ironically, like with many other words meaning "smart".

Answer 2

in addition to espabilado/a meaning awake, bright, smart, on the ball
I found a 2nd meaning, smart ass

Answer 3

This word was read in an article in "El Pais". I wish I had copied the whole sentence, but I vaguely remember that it had something to do with the state your in when you wake up.
Just did some research:means wide awake.I might have misspelled word and it should have been "Espabilada". Thanks for input.

Answer 4

Blink'''? That is surely a mistake, because it means awake, sharp.

Answer 5

Espabilades isn´t in spanish, or it´s wrong.
Espabilades it look galician-portuguese
A ver se espabilades que vai chover (Gal)=A ver si os espabilaís que va llover(Esp)/Hurry up that it is going to rain (Eng)
in Spanish Espabilades= Espabilaís
from verb Espabilar to get a move on, to wise up, to wake up, etc...
