So who says "se la nota?"

I have never heard that said. I have always heard "se le nota."

Thanks,

I have been trying to revive my defunct French too. I have been watching Disney movies in French. So far, Lady and the Tramp has been the easiest to hear.

I suggest Ricardo Arjona for this purpose. Although many people don't like his music because it is sometimes on the slow side and rather:) repetitive, his songs are all stories and easy to hear. ...

I checked the first post, and there is a question mark there. That's why I translated it that way.

Jumbled speech
