Spanish to English a ver si

[DearPrudence]

a ver si, a ver si se hace algo expr	(orden)	let's see whether, let's see if expr
Note: Se construye con indicativo.
	¡A ver si te callas, que no puedo oír la serie!
	Let's see if (or: let's see whether) you shut up; I can't hear the programme!

Does it sound like an idiomatic expression in English for an order?

 

[swift]

“Will you shut up” seems more plausible.

 

[elroy]

I suggest: “Do you think you could be quiet / stop talking / shut up…”

Thank you. I will add the terms "will" and "can" to the entry and change the sentence accordingly.
