Ganitas de ir

[bmarquis124]

hi, can someone tell me what this
me dijiste ganitas de ir
means in English?

I don't know but, I believe that the sentence is bad wrote.

I suggest this sentence instead of the other, you wrote.

Me dijiste que tenias ganas de ir.

The previous sentence does not sence for me.

[Rusty]

tener ganas de
= to want (to do something)
= to feel like (doing something)
= in the mood (to do something)

Crotalito's rewriting of the sentence means:
You told me you wanted to go. -or-
You told me you felt like going. -or-
You told me you were in the mood to go.

The word ganas may appear in phrases (like the one above). It is almost always associated with mood/desire. The author of your sentence used a diminutive form of ganas. I don't think it changes the translation.

The author of your sentence may have dispensed with the noun clause and the verb tener, which is what Crotalito added in his rework, but I think it can still be translated 'You told me about wanting to go.'
