Grammar/Translation - "Mira que te lo tengo dicho"

0
votes

Buenos dias todos, grin

I have just simple question.
Firstly, the sentence above in the title, "Mira que te lo tengo dicho", makes me very confusing. I put that sentence in the Google Translate, which works quite good usually, and it says it means "Look what you have said"

Is this correct translation?

Secondly, Can anybody explain me about grammar regarding above sentence?
For example, 'tener + PP(participio pasado)' has some meaning/function?
Please help me to understand!

Awaiting brilliant answers from all of you!

Bienvenido al foro, Minchul. smile

No, it is not correct.

Tengo dicho is a fixed expression which means: I have told you with repetion and emphasis

Te tengo dicho que no pises el cesped. I have told you over and over again that you should not.......

Secondly, Can anybody explain me about grammar regarding above sentence?

For example, 'tener + PP(participio pasado)' has some meaning/function?

Tengo+participle does not work with all verbs. Lazarus will explain. wink

Tener + pp. Indica la acción anterior y su resultado, acentuando la relación con el momento actual o con un momento dado del pasado. smile
