how do you say "on" in spanish ??

Question

help me please!!

Answer 1

I agree with the previous answer. But ON can also mean SOBRE, ENCIMA.
Do not expect to translate ON every time you come across it. Just look at this:
It's cold so I'm going to PUT ON a jacket.
Hace frio por lo tanto me voy a PONER una chaqueta. (ON is not even mentioned here! )

Answer 2

Encenda la luz means turn the light on.Aprenda español means learn spanish. I never say -aprenda la luz.El plato esta en la mesa{a veces se dicen -sobre la mesa.

Answer 3

It depends on the context of your sentence. For example, i want my coffee on the table. Quero el cafe en la mesa. In this case on would be 'en', which is to be put on. But lets say if you want to turn on a light. Prende la luz. 'Prende' would be used instead, which would mean to turn on.

Answer 4

it depends on the context. usually it means : encendido(sinonim : prender) so for ex. the tv is on. la television está encendida (u change the last letter becaus TV is fem.) the other use of the word is for ex. on the table, which will be ENCIMA (sinonim: SOBRE)

Answer 5

"on" have several traductions.
for example:
1."the food is on the table" = "on"= "sobre"
2."the machine is on" = "on"= "encendido"

hope this help:)

Answer 6

It depends.
For example if you say...

"The food is on the table."
you would say..
"La comida esta SOBRE/ENCIMA la mesa."

Or if you say...

"The lights are on"
you would say...
"Las luces estan "ENCENDIDAS."

Hope I helped!!!

Answer 7

If you mean being on something, like the box is on the truck, it's "en"
