I wonder if / let's see if / maybe (used to express a speculative hope or worry)expressioncolloquialA very frequent filler in spoken speech. Despite containing 'a ver' (let's see) and 'si' (if), the combined phrase expresses a speculative guess or mild warning rather than a literal invitation to look. The tone shifts entirely depending on intonation.

it's a really bad time for me / it really doesn't work for meexpressioncolloquial'Venir fatal' expresses that a situation is highly inconvenient. 'Fatal' here is an intensifier meaning 'terrible', not 'deadly'. The opposite, 'me viene bien', means it suits you fine.
