Just you wite
English to Spanish

Most of these hypotheticals wouldn't stand up to scrutiny in any self-respecting forum, of course, but the best prediction may come from Eliza Doolittle: Just you wite. Kucinich, unlike any of the other "non-viable" candidates...

¡espérate, no más!
Es el equivalente en "buen chileno" -expresión coloquial. (Just you wite, Henry Higgins, just you wite! = ¡Espérate, no más, H.H.! ¡espérate, no más!)

: Como explica Marian, el personaje principal de "Mi Bella Dama", Eliza Doolittle, es una florista de los barrios bajos de Londres y habla Cockney. Pronuncia "wite" y "lite" en lugar de "wait" y "late"a"

Ya vas a ver...
En Argentina y Uruguay esa es la forma de expresarlo.
La canción a la que pertenece la frase empieza así:
"Just you wite, 'enry 'iggins, just you wite
you'll be sorry but your tears will be too lite
You'll be broke and I'll have money
Will I help you? Don't be funny!
Just you wite, 'enry 'iggins, just you wite

ya vas a ver la que te espera
ya vas a ver, en vez de verás, hace que la frase se vuelva más coloquial, al estilo de Eliza-
