Muchas gracias
¿Con "(uno) se acabó el cereal" se refiere a alguien terminó el cereal, pero no se sabe quien? ¿Con "se le acabó el cereal (a uno/a el/a ella/a Ud) pones la culpa "en el cereal" pero todavía admites que accidentalmente tuviste la culpa? Gracias Last edited by gramatica; March 24, 2010 at 09:33 PM. |

There isn't anymore of one of the cereal types. One(self) finished off the cereal. (Some)one finished off the cereal. That's how I understand it. |

To tell you the truth, I don't think you need to use the word "off" at all. That sounds so ..... mafioso..
-I'm going to finish you off. (not at all correct but I have heard it used in the movies) Off sounds so .... final. Whereas if you run out of cereal you can get more. My

Al decir "uno se acabó" yo entiendo que se acabó un tipo de cereal. Por ejemplo, se acabó la avena, pero todavía nos queda trigo, cebada, etc. Si fuera una persona la que se hubiera acabado el cereal, diría: "uno lo acabó".

From the English "take" on the phrase, when offering the last bit or drop
of something to someone, it's common to say "Here, finish it off.").

That's a totally different context....here the word "off" sounds right.
