Este vestido me queda que ni pintado

[lee ying]

well. i´ve heard a phrase in different way, similar like that: no quiero ver a esa persona ni en pintura.... maybe in english is traslated : i don´t wanna see that person not in picture. i think so , but can tell me if i am wrong..

Yes, your phrase that ends in ni en pintura and a similar phrase - no volver a/querer/poder/ ver a alguien ni pintado - both mean the same thing: que no puede tolerar a alguien. In English, ni en pintura/ni pintado mean not even in paint/not even painted. These are not English idiomatic expressions, however. Our equivalent of the two sentences is to not be able to stand (the sight of) someone.

Ni en pintura and ni pintado both require a negative aspect.
Que ni pintado is used in an affirmative aspect.
They are different modismos.

ok, thank you, rusty.

[Rusty]

You're welcome.

Maybe you have heard the word on Mexico, you know we are both Mexicans and our way to speak is very different to the way to speak of the Spain people.

[sosia]

Both are OK and used in SPAIN
"Este vestido me queda que ni pintado" literall "This suits fits me soo good as it was painted", or like Elaina says, "fits like a glove"
"no quiero ver a esa persona ni en pintura" literall "I don't wanna ever see that person, not even in a painting", ir as Rusty says "to not be able to stand (the sight of) someone"

I suppose both comes from the usuall custom of the spanish people to have a picture of himself, usually making the painter "improve" the real one or to "remove" some minor problems

[Elaina]

But of course, there wouldn't be any "minor" problems to remove from your painting!

Thanks Sosia and Rusty for clearing this up.

Crotalito, are you in agreement now?

Cuando no encuentres la traducción en inglés, siempre puedes dar una explicación o definición y así puede que alguien más sepa la frase correcta en inglés.

Elaina Why do you ask me, if I'm in a agreement?

Agreement mean contrato or trato, I mean, I don't know that mean it.

Igual a la palabra acuerdo, agreement tiene varios significados. Uno es acuerdo como ¿estás de acuerdo?
