Look out

[ROBINDESBOIS]

Look out means to be careful
can we use in these sentences:

look out the cars
you should look out for bad people
look out with your father, he´s sick
look out with the bus

[Rusty]

look out for cars -or- watch out for cars
look out for the car -or- watch out for the car

look after your father, he's sick (take care of him)
be careful around your father, he's sick (we don't want you to get sick, too)
take care around ...

watch out for the bus -or- look out for the bus

you should look out for bad people
you should watch out for bad people
look out for bad people
watch out ...

[EmpanadaRica]

I think 'look out' and 'watch out' can also be used when you are looking out / ' to be on the lookout' for something or someone, right?

'The police were looking out / on the lookout for the suspect at the train station' for example?

I've heard it many times here in Mexico. It means "watch out!" or "look out!" in the sense that you are about to be hit by a car and a friend yells out "aguas!!!!"

That is interesting - I wonder whether it has any connection with the charming English habit in London 400 years ago. They had no drains, so toilets were a problem. They used chamber pots which they just poured out of the windows onto the street, shouting "garde l'eau" (look out - water) so anybody below could get out of the way. YUK Is there a connection?

Llegale..



Aguas!! This's a colloquial expression of the Mexican slang.

Herale.....

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

@Perikles: Yes, that's the right connection.

@Irma: es el coloquial para decir "¡Cuidado!".
