"We are not here for cuentes"

anybody knows what "cuentes" means here?

does it just mean "talk" literally?

I think you must mean cuentos, which is stories, gossip. Could also be cuentas (calculations, answers). The word cuentes with an -es is a verb. —Stephen 05:37, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, it is "cuentes" I am talking about for sure, for I saw it printed in the movie script, also the character pronounced it exactly the way as written. I myself also studied in Spanish for couples of years so I know what the other similar words you provided above mean, which did not seem to apply to the sentence as I checked before posting the discussion here earlier. And that's why I try to seek answer here. Could it possibly be some slang used by the Hispanic gang or something? And what could it possibly refer to? Thank you very much.

I’ve never heard of anything like that. Maybe it was said by someone who doesn’t know Spanish very well. Americans frequently get the vowels wrong. —Stephen 07:16, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]


I see, and I agree with you. :P

Thank you very much~ — This unsigned comment was added by 219.84.12.122 (talk) at 10:37, 20 October 2008.
