I dare you
How do you say 'I dare you' in Spanish?
Just by itself, like - 'Go on, I dare you (to do it).' Thanks in advance for your help. |

Venga, a ver si te atreves.
Anda, no tienes h*evos. A ver, a ver si eres capaz. Adelante, te apuesto lo que quieras a que no lo haces. Venga, atrévete. Adelante, atrévete. just you dare! = ¡atrévete y verás!

I don't know. In my society, daring people is considered a very very low behaviour.

Mmm...
I think of, "Tú (me desafías) ¿y cuántos más?" "¡A ver qué pasa!" Or... "me apuesto el doble a que no"... Definitely not as funny... A ver quién es el niño bonito que sale con una expresión... Me apuesto todo lo que quieras a que no la sacas...

Quote:
Kids daring the other kid to kiss a girl or tell her she's pretty or ask the big guys if they can play ball with him, etc. I am sure people in your "society" were kids once and played similar games, no? Quote:
apuesto todo lo que quieras a que no..........

¡Me alegro!
(Me iba a jugar dos cenas a que no encontraba otra expresión... ¡pero me contuve a tiempo!)
