lakeheron Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ficklepie Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ficklepie Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Stick a "me" in between "no" and "importa" -- "No me importa" -- and it becomes, "I don't care." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Guera84 Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeheron Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Thanks. I'll add "sabes que" to my "olvidalo." I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
