Es correcto decir " te voy a tocar por la sabana" para "I am going to touch you through the sheet."'

It is always interesting to have context, Ken!In this case, I woudl use the sentence:Te daré el mensaje tapándote con una sábana y por encima de esta.

De acuerdo. " Through the sheets" es un modismo que no se traduce facilmente. "Manos encima de la sabana" resuelve el problema.

if you are not touching the skin then it would be

encima de la sabana

mis manos no van a tocar tu piel porque van a estar encima de la sabana
o like Heidita said:your hands on top of th e sheet: te voy a tocar por encima de la sábana

What I am trying to convey is that the sheet will be between you and my hand. I will not touch your scin, only the sheet. Algunas ideas'

below the sheet: te voy a tocar por debajo de la sábana how is "por" working in the above sentnce. I honestly dont know


I would say "by means of","through the medium of" but those are _very_ literal (an attempt to convey the underlying syntax more than the usual "meaning"). In all likelihood, Lazarus will come along and supply better alternatives.

These sound to me like the person may have his hand under the sheet and touches the person.

I tried several tranlators to see what they used and they used :

por
or
a través de

By the way it is: sábana y tocaré

correction ( if might be so bold)
te voy a tocar debajo de la sabana
how about
te tocare por bajo de la sabana( I am not sure about this last sentence)
