Spanish term or phrase: ¿Podrás soportarlo?
Es un eslógan publicitario. Debe tener una connotación positiva, es decir, poder soportarlo en el sentido de que es algo tan bueno que no sabes si lo podrás soportar. Algo que tenga más gancho que Will you be able to handle it? Thank you.

can you take it?


Explanation:
"Will you be able to take it" quedaba un poco largo, me parece a mí.

Aunque "handle" también me parece bien.

El sexo siempre funciona bien en la publicidad, y esta frase a veces se usa cuando, por ejemplo, se ha conseguido un orgasmo y no se puede seguir. Se usa también en general para hablar de placer. No poder "take it" tiene en este caso buen carga.
