3 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +2
peer agreement (net): +2You and Carlos? Forget it, asshole. Explanation: This is a dialogue in which Mario starts to mention Carlos and himself when addressing Juan. Juan, obviously annoyed, cuts him off. Here, the "nada" has the sense of "Don't even start talking about this," so I think the phrase "forget it" would be idiomatic for English. |
