¿Qué traes tú?

Question

I have a friend who speaks Mexican Spanish, and she said this to my baby. I would guess it means something like "What's your problem'," idiomatically. How would you translate it'

Answer 1

idioma is language.. she was saying this is how the baby talks... you know a baby can't talk ...they cry.. that is there language...idiomatically... that is what I think..

yes, you are right it means what's your problem? but is mostly likely; what's up with you? it's like a mexican street spanish, used mainly by teenagers in Mexico.

Thanks, that helps!

Answer 3

My first thought: "what's wrong"

Answer 4

yes, you are right it means what's your problem? but is mostly likely; what's up with you? it's like a mexican street spanish, used mainly by teenagers in Mexico.

Answer 5

As Heidi says, something like that wouldn't make sense to us in Spain, unless we knew the context, and we could see the expression of the person and hear his/her tone and all that, but the unusually stressing "tú" at the end may suggest some aggressive overtones, unless you're being compared to others. Hard to say.

Answer 6

¿De verdad? No tengo ni dea. En España no se entiende.

Tal caso existe una frase: ¿Qué te traes entre manos? What are you up to?

Tu frase: What do you bring with you'
