¿Vienes mucho por aquí?

Vyeh-nes Moo-cho Poor Ah-kee

Do you come here often?

¿Es esa tu mejor frase para ligar?

ES EH-sah too meh-HOR FRAH-seh PAH-rah lee-GAR

Is that your best pickup line?

💬 [Ligar] means [to flirt] or [to pick someone up], so [frase para ligar] is a pickup line, not literally a line for tying something. You can reuse it in phrases like [¿No sabes ligar?] or [anda ligando con todos].

🇲🇽 This is light teasing, so it can build chemistry if your tone is warm. Said too flat or too soon, it can sound dismissive instead of playful.
