I like/don't like someone (as a person)expressioncolloquialA fixed idiomatic phrase in Argentine Spanish used to express whether you have a good or bad feeling about someone. Not about romantic attraction but about general personal impression. The subject is the person being liked/disliked, so it works like 'gustar': 'me cae bien' = literally 'they fall well on me'.
No sé, ese tipo me cae mal desde la primera vez que lo vi.I don't know, I've had a bad feeling about that guy since the first time I saw him.ya fue
it's done, it's over, that's it (nothing can be done)expressioncolloquialA very common Argentine expression signaling that something is finished, past, or irreversible. Equivalent to 'that ship has sailed' or 'it's gone'. Conveys resignation rather than anger.
No vale la pena discutir, ya fue, no lo podemos cambiar.It's not worth arguing about, it's done, we can't change it.cortarle las alas
to clip someone's wings, to hold someone back from their potentialexpressioncolloquialA widely used idiomatic expression meaning to restrict someone's freedom, creativity, or ability to grow. While 'cut wings' exists in English, its use here is more emotionally charged and specific to interpersonal control, particularly parent-child dynamics.
No le cortés las alas a tu hijo; dejalo que explore lo que le apasiona.Don't clip your son's wings; let him explore what he's passionate about.tarántula
tarantula (used figuratively as an insult for a manipulative person)noun (f)Le dicen tarántula porque siempre encuentra la manera de manipular a todos.They call her a tarantula because she always finds a way to manipulate everyone.
