To put something away

To put something away
 
What is the best translation for putting something away?

Poner en su sition? Guardarlo?


This is the sentence that I'd like to translate please:

I put my guitar away and said I would not play until he stopped talking to me.

Puse mi guitarra en su sitio y dije que no volvería tocarla hasta que dejara de hablarme.

In this sense, 'guardar algo'.

Guardé la guitarra y le dije que no volvería a tocarla hasta que (él/ella/usted) dejara de hablarme.

Thanks heaps, so do I need the le in there even though I'm not saying it 'to anyone' - just saying?

Actually what is the dealio with that? I'm sure sometimes I see decir without the indirect object pronoun.

Decir doesn't always take an indirect object, no.
Digo la verdad.

So for my example, why did you add it?

Rusty July 26, 2012 10:01 AM

That's what I felt the sentence needed according to the interpretation I had in mind at the time.
