Sacar

[LadeeLuck11]

I am under the understanding that Sacar means to get out/to pull out/to extract, etc... I have seen 3 phrases which I am having trouble sorting out, they are:

Sacame del aire
Saco provecho
Saco partido

Thanks for any help...

Saco can also mean bag, usually a big one, like a burlap sac.

They are all expressions, as in idioms
Sacame del aire (I don't know about this one)

Saco provecho= Got something out of it.
Saco partido = fished someone who is from a good family, or has money or is good looking, etc.

Sacame del aire- take my breath away, I think...I think I heard this in a cheesy song once before.

I'm guessing that you in fact are looking to translate the following words, "sac? provecho" & "sac? partido", which are using the verb "sacar" in the past tense.
Translating a song, per chance?
Both mean, more or less the same thing, "You got/took benefits/advantages".
Depending on the context, could mean, "You took advantage of me".

Sacame del aire is more like tell me what is going on or tell me the truth. It kind of means don't leave me in the dark(tell me what is going on).

According to our workers here, they say it basically means, "get it/him/her out of here".

What I said is the most commonly used meaning.

Sacalo del aire/Llevatelo del aire is an expression used in a very popular radio show in the DR call Gobierno de la manana, they discuss political issues, and usually when they say that phrase it is because the host has said something he wasn't supposed to , or it is a very delicate subject. The literal translation means get him/her out of the air.

I have heard it used that way as well, and it's in sink with what I was saying before, basically, get him/her/it out of here/there.
I have NEVER heard of it meaning, not leaving someone in the dark.

It is a song. I'm translating Usted Abuso by Celia Cruz. T

 

[LadeeLuck11]

The lyrics are:

Usted abus?, sac? provecho de m?, abus?.
Sac? partido de m? abus?,
de mi cari?o usted abus?.

The verb "sacar" means "remove" or "to take out".

I believe by "Sacame del aire" you mean "sacame el aire" which means either "take my breath away" or "knock the wind out of me"

If you are sure it is "sacame del aire" then the most likely translation is "get me out of the air conditioning".

saco provecho = I take advantage
sacar provecho = to take advantage
sacan provecho = they take advantage
sacamos provecho = we take advantag
sac? provecho = he (or she) took advantage

sorry but this is not true, stop giving erroneous translations :speechles

you have to know what the person is trying to say with that phrase
"sacame del aire" if its slang it could mean something different from the most obvious translation - "take off the air".

If this were a poll, I'd choose "get him off the air" for s?calo del aire...
sac? mucho dinero would mean "he/she got a lot of money"
I agree it means to take out (as in a date)...
Another versatile and useful vocabulary word.

Sacame del aire..... is the term the OP asked about...not sacalo

I asked my dominican Gf about the term "sacame del aire".... and sure enough she said it ment to take me off the air....as in a radio DJ, or someone calling into the station, but doesnt want all the listeners to hear them over the radio........

didnt ask her about the others....

I did ask about "sacame el aire", because someone posted about that...and she thought the exact same thing....take my breath away...or what a person might say if they had the wind knocked out of them.....when i asked her if it could be what a guy might say if he saw a really pretty girl, and wanted to say "wow you take my breath away"......and she said yes, because she said she hears it all the time walking in santiago.

those domincan men never stop trying.........ha ha ha ha

It is true. Dominicans don't usually use "sacar" (take out) for taking someone off the air, they usually use "quitar" (take away) for that.

I agree that we do need to know the context but most likely it is a case of waxy buildup on the part of the listener.
