It cuts both ways

It cuts both ways
 

What is the best way to say ' It cuts both ways' in Spanish? :)

This expression can mean one of the following:

- to affect both sides of an issue equally
- to have two different effects at the same time, usually one good and one bad
- to have both advantages and disadvantages; to work both ways

:confused:

@Empanada: Se dice de algo que es "un arma de dos filos".

Ah ok! ¿Supongo que es lo mismo que 'ser un arma de doble filo'? :)

¡Gracias, Angelica! :thumbsup: :)

Even it means literally.

Corta ambas formas.


But as my friends said before, it can means a lot things.

¡Ok, gracias! :) :thumbsup:

Muy acertado ;)

:p ¡Gracias irma! :thumbsup: :rose:
