Teagobies
 

This word is on a card that my OH has sent and we cannot find a translation....help needed please as he may have to apologise.

Re: Teagobies
 

could it be 'No te agobies!'

then it would be from the verb AGOBIAR, which means to overwhelm/stifle with responsibility

so that would pretty much mean - don't do too much/overwhelm yourself

Re: Teagobies
 

No it was definitely one word and when OH typed it into google it came up but no translation.

Re: Teagobies
 

in that case I don't know unless it's a valenciano word

I'll have a look when I can find Jess's dictionary:thumbsup:

Re: Teagobies
 

My Translator just repeats the word, can't find a translation.

Re: Teagobies
 

they always do that if there's no translation

I've tried a catalan translator, too


no joy

Re: Teagobies
 

Don't forget that words are often condensed/compressed, eg pesao = pesado.

To be honest, no te agobies sounds like a very likely translation.

Re: Teagobies
 

very true bil, very true but not usually when written

I can't think what else it could be - and it is the sort of thing you might find on a card

Re: Teagobies
 

Well, looking in my 'Big Boy's Book of Spanish Werds' There is absolutely nothing that is similar.

I'm assuming this is some kind of greetings card? In the UK, words on these are sometimes misspelled for comic effect.

Could that be the case here?

Re: Teagobies
 

This seems to be the most likely answer - translating to "take it easy" - which would be appropriate for a greetings card.

Re: Teagobies
 

Yes, it is on a 40th birthday card. At least it looks like he has not been rude, thank goodness.

Re: Teagobies
 

Think this fits as well as we can so will go with this.

Thanks

Re: Teagobies
 

Does pesado mean heavy? As in crikey this box is heavy?

Re: Teagobies
 

If only Son of Satan, I mean Spain, was still around to help out....



FWIW, I agree with Lynn on this one....

Re: Teagobies
 

yes pesado can be either heavy, or someone who is really annoying,
ie que pesado que eres!!!!

Re: Teagobies
 

just like we sometimes say 'heavy going' for someone who is boring



but what about teagobies??!!

Re: Teagobies
 

ah i didnt know that one, thanks!


it just has to be te agobies like someone said here, otherwise it means nothing to me...!!!:confused:

Re: Teagobies

It sounds like scouser slang for people that drink too much tea.
