Forget it! / That's it, I'm done!expressioncolloquialWhen used as an outburst (not literally asking someone to forget information), it signals the speaker is giving up, dismissing a situation, or storming off. The literal meaning of 'forget it' does not capture this emotional force.

to rely on, to count on (someone)expressionNon-compositional because 'contar' alone means 'to count' or 'to tell a story', but 'contar con' shifts entirely to mean 'to depend on' or 'to have available'. The preposition changes the meaning completely.
Siempre puedo contar con mi hermana cuando las cosas se ponen difíciles.I can always count on my sister when things get tough.cuñado
