Dale

[satchrocks]

Estoy un poco confudido sobre respecta a el uso de la palabra "dale." Creo que significa "go" o "to hit upon" (i.e. to hit upon a point in conversation). Sin embargo, yo estaba buscar en google y yo vi que dale tiene muchos usos de argot.

Que son otros usos de "dale?"

[CrOtALiTo]

Basically the word Dale in Spanish means give.

But normally it's used in colloquial phrases.

Like Crotalito said, to give means dar.

Dale = (You) give

Dale = (you) give (it a go)

In Argentina I think "dale" means "vale" (OK).

In Spain you can say "y dale" or "y dale que te pego" when someone insists on doing or saying something:

Y dale con que te lleve al circo. Ya te dije que te llevaré mañana.
Ya estás otra vez dale que te pego con el ordenador. A ver si me paras un rato y me escuchas de una vez.

Correct me if I'm wrong hispanos and españoles. Doesn't ídale! mean
step on the gas pedal and go! (commonly in English "step on it")

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

"Darle a algo" es ponerlo en marcha, hacerlo funcionar.

Dale al switch, a ver si arranca el motor.

Dale al pedal, quiero ver si frena.

Yes, although I'm no a Spain, with frequently I use the word Vale, I don't know Why I use a lot that word. Perhaps because I like it a lot.

In English could also be translated to "come on"

[CrOtALiTo]

Also it could to be translate as go head.

"Dámelo" is the correct one. First IO, later DO when using pronouns

[ROBINDESBOIS]

Another one:
Dale que te pego

Estaban dale que te pego = sin parar ( Used in several contexts including making love)

I'm sorry for in this phrase the more correct way is Andale que te pego.


Suggests above..
