"cortar el rollo". Any equivalent expression? Hi, I'm wondering if there is an equivalent expression for "cortar el rollo". It's a very useful expression which can be used when you make a joke or just tell anything and the other person become grumpy without a justified reason. In this situation, the other person normally reply you saying something unpolite or out if context, making you change your state of humour. It could happen in many different contexts, with your parents, friends, boss or so. However, it's more common with relatives and friends. Not sure if it's clear, but I wanted to explain for Spanish learners. Thanks

I'm off - Me voy !!!??? I normally use this expression when I'm finishing my shift, meaning I'm going to stop working and I'm going home. However, the other day I was in a pub having a drink with some people, and one of them say it when she was going out to smoke. I'm wondering if it's like saying "me voy" in Spanish? By the way, for Spanish learners, if you are in a working context and you are finishing your shift, you should say something like: "Hasta mañana, me me voy ya", "Me voy que se me hace tarde, voy a comer,...". Also, if you are having fun in a pub o party and you need to leave your friends for some reason, you should say something like: "voy/salgo a llamar por teléfono/al baño/fumar" or "tengo que salir un momento, ahora vuelvo". Thanks

It's is not my call I normally watch TV-series and quite often I hear the same expression. "It's not my call". Considering the context, it sounds like "it's not my business" ,however, I'm not completely sure. Can anyone shed light on this matter? Thanks in advance!

You better do not know !? Hi guys, I have a question which arises when I am watching tv-series or speaking to someone in informal conversations. Sometimes I hear something like: "you better do not know" or "you better do not want to know". I knew "it is better if you do not know", however, the short one is very common as well. Can anyone shed light to this question? By the way, if you want to say: "it is better if you do not know" in Spanish, the translation would be: "Es mejor que no lo sepas". Just in case that helps to someone who is learning Spanish. Thanks

Dodgy software The other day I had a job interview for an engineer position. This company is currently using a software called "Solidwork" which is very powerful and useful. I was surprised because they said they are using a dodgy version of this software. I thought this kind of practice would not be very common in the UK, I might be wrong... Am I right? The Spanish expression for that is "piratear un programa" or "Tengo un programa pirata/pirateada". Does anybody know another way to say the same in English? Thanks a lot

Silly question The other day I was watching a tv series and one of the actors said: "I am gonna wanna blow your mind". I do not remember exactly what was the context, however, I heard it in Homeland. I cannot provide any more clue. Maybe it is too little, too late. Does anyone know what that could mean roughly? Many thanks

How can I say "dar largas" in English? Hi, Spanish speakers use "dar largas" when someone is trying to avoid giving you information that you have already requested. We also use it when someone is buying time by delaying a proccess or taking longer than normal. This is an example in Spanish, it might be useful for Spanish learners: Hace un mes envié una carta solicitando mi readmisión y todavía estoy esperando la respuesta. Creo que me están dando largas. I have tried to find a proper way to say something similar, but I am afraid I have not succeeded yet. Thanks a lot

Just a doubt Hi everyone, I would like to know how to say: "caiga quien caiga" in English. This expression means that you are willing to do whatever you need to reach your goal, come what may. Does anyone any similar expression? Thanks in advance

Tip for English learners: the coma usage Hi. I've found an article talking about punctuation marks, particularly the coma usage. In my opinion it has a vital importance, especially when you have or pretend to have a relative high level of Spanish. Not many people know the proper way to use it, so I found it very interesting and I just want to share with you all. The main difficultly lies in the lack between speaking and writing. Have a look and hoping you enjoy it. http://narrativabreve.com/2015/02/opiniones-de-un-corrector-de-estilo-11-recetas-para-escribir-correctamente-la-coma.html
