Three is a crowd

[ROBINDESBOIS]

I´m trying to find the equivalent in Spanish but I only found el tercero en discordia. The other one doesn´t come to me, can anybody help me?

Hola robin,

Two´s company, but three´s a crowd
El tercero está de más:confused:

[Tomisimo]

two's company, but three's a crowd = mal tercio

If you say so. I've never heard that phrase.

[ROBINDESBOIS]

Well, I have, it´s " hacer de carabina " in The USA they say CHAPERONE like in Italian. I was looking for " · 3 es multitud.

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

The ones we use here are "3 son multitud" and "hacer mal tercio".

Y como se usa "fith wheel"

[bobjenkins]

Y como se usa "fith wheel"
Hay sólo cuatro llantas en un coche, decir "I´m the fifth wheel" significa "I´m feeling left out / Don´t belong" es muy parecido a la tercera persona en el dicho "three is a crowd"
