To have an edge

To have an edge
 

This may be an idiomatic expression, but sometimes, if an edge is a knife,
it can be quite literal.
It means to have a special advantage. Having a lot of intelligence can serve as an edge, being rich, good looking, in a fight the guy, with the knife has the edge over the one who doesn't.

Is there a term for this in Spanish? I'm thinking tener la ventaja sobre?

Sí, tener ventaja sería la única.

Una ligera ventaja.

¿Y en el caso de no ser ligera? :rolleyes:

¡Un ventajón! :D

:):D:lol::lol::lol:

Is llevar la ventaja sobre alguien more or less the same?

Le llevo ventaja o tengo la ventaja sobre él.

Oh right, it's llevarle ventaja,without the definite article la. Thanks chileno

It can be with "la", but you have to add that "le"

le llevo (la) ventaja o llevarle (la) ventaja
