Como no se ande con ojo, le voy a meter la copa por ya sabe dónde!

Like one walks with eye ???, I 'm going to stick the cup up your  'you know where'.

I presume present subjunctive of 'andar'

Answer:

"andar con ojo" is a idiomatic and colloquial form for "andar con cuidado"...
meaning "to take care"...
So "if he doesn´t take care, I´m goig to stick the cup in ..."

This sequence of words Googles well, so I assume it is an idiom, but is just gibberish to me.

Full sentence in my book is :-

Que sí, que ya lo sé, y le pediré perdón.

Answer:

by rabend (DE/FR), Last modified: 2021-02-14, 18:44   Spam?  

Yeah, I know that.. or Sure, I know that... I wouldn't call that an idiom. Don't get discombobulated by the lavish use of QUE in Spanish. Quite often it's just a filler word.

Answer:

I don’t know why it’s precisely the Seine, but it might be a question of “caudal”. I think most of the time it is nearly impossible to commit suicide by jumping, for instance, into the Manzanares or the Guadalquivir...

Which one is correct?
Thanks a lot,

Grammatical "¿Qué tipo de hombres te gusta?" is the correct form…

P.S. ' inglés ' is a pauperized wording of the 'Anglo-Saxon' roots and it is a transliteration from English.
               Same goes for 'español' which is a mainly 'Castilian-based" language.
        Regarding the words 'serbio' and 'búlgaro' are geographical references but not linguistically ones.
