Sólo el golpe

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

A couple of days ago I stumbled and fell climbing up a stair. When someone was worried about how bad I had been hit, I said "sólo fue el golpe", meaning that I felt I was alright and I didn't think I was seriously injured.

How do I say this in English? :confused:

[Chris]

I'm fine.
Only the landing hurt.

Sorry I don't know much Spanish to give you a perfect answer. If I had fallen and wasn't hurt I'd be more embarrassed than anything. The conversation would go like this. "Did you hurt anything?" "Only my pride..."

[ElPolloEstreñido]

Well my book says golpe means blow. So maybe something like " It was only a scratch"?

"It was just the bump" or "just the bump"

;)

Sólo fue el golpe. = I just hit myself.

Thank you all for the replies! :rose:

@David: Thanks! I was looking for a noun, but of course it's more suitable like that. :D

@Chris & Pollo: Thank you for the alternatives.

@Chris: Oh, embarrassment, yes. I'm usually cynical enough as to laugh at myself when I have this kind of accidents, but the man at the stairs was seriously worried and it was necessary to reassure him. :D

Only hurt me the hit.

As somebody said before
Only hurt me the landing.

I'll live.

[Luna Azul]

I'll live.

I'm not sure if I will.... :(

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

@pjt: :lol: That would fit the mood of it, thank you!

[Sancho Panther]

Just a bit of a knock.

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

Nice one, thank you! :)

[Awaken]

I'll live.

That is my choice in those situations.

Sometimes you just say "It's just a scratch" when speaking of a particular injury.

[Luna Azul]

I love this: "It only hurts when I breathe."

:rolleyes:
