Muchas gracias
¿Con "(uno) se acabó el cereal" se refiere a alguien terminó el cereal, pero no se sabe quien? ¿Con "se le acabó el cereal (a uno/a el/a ella/a Ud) pones la culpa "en el cereal" pero todavía admites que accidentalmente tuviste la culpa? Gracias Last edited by gramatica; March 24, 2010 at 09:33 PM. |

There isn't anymore of one of the cereal types. One(self) finished off the cereal. (Some)one finished off the cereal. That's how I understand it. |

To tell you the truth, I don't think you need to use the word "off" at all. That sounds so .....
![]() ![]() -I'm going to finish you off. (not at all correct but I have heard it used in the movies) Off sounds so .... final. Whereas if you run out of cereal you can get more. My ![]()

From the English "take" on the phrase, when offering the last bit or drop
of something to someone, it's common to say "Here, finish it off.").
