¿Es el nombre del verbo adivinar la que significa "to guess"?

También he visto el dicho, "adivínate", my diccionario me dice que significa "I´ll give you a thousand guesses / You guess"

Aquí es mi frase

Si yo quisiera que me des adivinanzas todo el tiempo (yo) te pediría, hasta luego no me des más adivinanzas

Yes:
adivinar = to guess
For me, "adivínate" is something like "guess yourself"...
"You guess" would be "adivina"

A normal way(colloquial) to invite someone to guess would be: Adivina adivinador
Example:
Adivina adivinador: es lindo y escribe en cursiva, ¿quién es?
