Montar a alguien en los hombros

[ROBINDESBOIS]

The other day I saw an expression In English for carry sb in your shoulders, How can we say that in English?

[Rusty]

Carry someone/somebody on one's shoulders.

The water is a little too deep here, let me carry you on my shoulders.

[pjt33]

To give someone a piggy-back.

[JPablo]

To give someone a piggy-back.

But I thought that would be like "llevar a alguien a cuestas" or "a caballo".

When I was a kid (probablly a regional usage) we would ask:

¿Me llevas a camello o a caballo?

(a camello = carry on one's shoulders)

[Rusty]

To give someone a piggy-back.Here in the U.S.:
To carry someone piggyback. -or- To give someone a piggyback ride.

I agree with 'llevar a caballito/caballo'. :)

En México se dice "cargar a alguien de caballito". A los niños les encanta. :D

[ROBINDESBOIS]

To give someone a piggy-back.

I agree.

And that i take it as on one's shoulders and the other piggy back ride.

[Rusty]

a hombros = on someone's shoulders
a caballito = ride piggyback

"A camello" must be a regional usage. I have never heard of it.

[JPablo]

Yup, definitely used in Barcelona.
