Ambos se entienden, pero aquí se usa "no te metas en lo que no te importa" o "no te metas donde no te llaman".

Just out of curiosity, would you be understood if you say: No te metes en las cosas que no te concierne-0- no te metes en la cosas
que no te anañe.

Beside sosia's options:
"Metete en tus cosas." is the most common here.
"Metete en tu vida" can be another.

With those corrections, yes. They can be other options, negative options as:
"No te metas/metás en mi vida"
Or this expression that is very used: "No te metas/metás donde no te llaman"

Your intuition is right, Poli. You'd be understood with the corrections I've suggested.


Edit: sorry I hadn't seen Ookami had already corrected it. ;(

Oops, sorry, I didn't see the miswriting in "atañen". I read what I wanted to read :P
