To be a good sport

[hermit]

In Spanish?

In English it's "to be fun to be with". Like someone good-natured, entertaining, with a good sense of humor (humour), always ready
for a good time.

Cassell's gives "ser muy majo"; does that convey the above as well?

I think what it could be an good entertainment for the TV public.

[hermit]

Yes, good TV entertainers are most likely "good sports" as well...

¿Cómo se describen en Méjico además de "majo"?

[JPablo]

(person): to be a good sport (to be sporting) tener espíritu deportivo; (to be understanding) ser comprensivo; come on, be a sport and lend it to us (colloq) anda, sé bueno y préstanoslo, andá, sé pierna y prestánoslo (Río de la Plata)
(as form of address) (Australian colloq) amigo, -ga

to be a (good) sport -> ser un(a) tío(a) grande (español de España), ser buena gente (Am)
to be a bad sport -> ser mal perdedor(bad loser), tener mal perder (español de España)

I think in Mexico they say "la sabe llevar bien" /"la lleva bien".

More generally,

Es un buen tipo, es campechano, divertido, sabe pasar un buen rato a pesar de todo...

I guess it will depend on the context, but the above are few valid options.

to be a good sport = ser buena onda / ser buena gente

@Hermit: I think you know, but we wouldn't say "majo" in Mexico, and not everyone would understand what it means.

I'm afraid not.

We'd use Tomisimo's expressions or:

- se lleva bien con todos/todo el mundo/la gente
- a todos les cae bien / le cae bien a todos
- es (muy) simpático/lindo/amable/divertido/agradable
- tiene buen carácter
- tiene don de gente(s) (although this one might be only understood by elders)
.

@Angelica: Ah, thank you.
Yet, I heard Mexicans saying, "ahí la lleva" as in "the person is doing fine", right?
Is that just some isolated Mexicans, or is it more generalized?

I'm not Angélica, but I'd say that's a pretty common expression, and probably understood in most of the country.

ahí la lleva = he's doing fine/ok, he's getting along ok, he's doing alright, he's getting by fine, or even he's coping (pretty well).

Thank you.

[Tomisimo]

We'll see if she agrees with me or not.
