how sayings naturally cross language barriers

454 views

I’m doing my Spanish homework and “Salen con” means “leaving with”, which can be used to say someone is dating someone (going out with someone). Since there’s nothing that intones dating within those words, how do English speakers and Spanish speakers use the same terminology when the words are used as a kind of euphemism?

“Salir” literally means “going out” as well as the definition of “leave.” “Going out” can refer to dating in multiple languages because when you’re dating someone, you usually go out on dates. I don’t really see how it’s particularly euphemistic.
