Dar en la diana - to get something right
E.g. ʻHe dado en la diana. He acertado quien era el asesino', meaning ʻI guessed right. I knew who the killer was!' (from our phrasebook) Another I like is dar lo mismo, e.g.: Me da lo mismo - I don't mind (for example when someone asks if you prefer a big meal or just tapas for supper). Over to you, what's your favourite phrase with Dar? |

En lugar de diciendo, no tengo preferencia, es mas fácil decir, me da igual, un frase muy común en esta zona.

A few which I never knew, but have heard here and try to use when the opportunity arises. So far, in my life in Spain, I have not had to personally use the last example and hope to continue avoid needing to.
![]() Dar con / to find. No pude dar con los motives de la huegla. Dar de comer / to feed Tengo que dar de comer a mi buitre. Dar en / to hit. !Yo regresé muy tarde y me dio en la cabeza con su rodillo! |

Dar la luz- to give birth, I always found that one rather poetic.

Pero alguien puede 'darse cuenta' o 'dar cuenta de algo'. Cada una significa algo distinto. Me parece que alguien puede 'me doy cuenta' (as in I realise) o 'doy cuenta de' (as I account for, shed light on something). ¿Qué te parece?
