Dejar mal/bien parado

Hola

lei esto en algun lado pero he encontrado dos diferentes traducciones. To make someone/thing look bad/good and the other is To make it clear?

Dejar bien parado/a
Dejar mal parado/a

es la misma de decir me estas haciendo quedar mal/bien?

Gracias

Más o menos.

Me haces quedar mal/bien (parado)

Dejé bien/mal parado el nombre de mi trabajo.

Can you see the difference?

None of them means to make anything clear.

"Dejar a alguien bien/mal parado(a)" in many contexts can be synonymous to "hacer quedar bien/mal a alguien".


You can take a look here and here.


And please note that accents are not gratuituous. There is a dropdown menu for inserting Spanish characters on top of dialog boxes here in the forums.
