"Nevermind" or "Forget that"

[lakeheron]

Let's say I ask my worker to do something and then realize I don't need/want it done. How do I say "never mind what I just said?"

Thanks.

"No importa lo que acabo de decirte" is one way, and means, "Never mind what I just told you." "No importa" means "It doesn't matter" or "never mind." "Lo que" means "what" or (more literally) "that which." "Acabo de" is a great, useful construction for expressing "I just..." And "decirte" = "told you."

Hope that helps.

I found this on a site and thought it was helpful:

nevermind, as in don't worry about it - No te preocupes

nevermind, as in forget about it - olvídalo

nevermind, as in not important - No importa

Stick a "me" in between "no" and "importa" -- "No me importa" -- and it becomes, "I don't care."

olvidalo, no importa

you can say 'olvidalo' or 'sabes que, olvidalo' (you know what, don't worry about it)

the second is more common. We only speak spanish in my house, I don't use an online translator

Thanks. I'll add "sabes que" to my "olvidalo." I like it.
