Klacks Explanation: I'm not sure about calling a person "a cinch". "Das ist ein Klacks" means "It's a cert" or "It's a cinch" or "It's a piece of cake". |

Mit Dir ist es einfach. Explanation: Cinch can mean easy to accomplish, a sure thing, a certainty, so my attempt reads: Mit Dir ist es einfach. See how that fits in your context. Cheerio, Dierk American Heritage Dictionary |

depends.... Explanation: cinch used as AmE slang means "todsichere Sache" or "klarer Fall". It also means "Kinderspiel". See what fits in your context, although it's not so often used with a person. You could say "Du bist ein Kinderspiel fuer mich." or so. Hope it helps! Oxford Dictionary Am. Edition, Langenscheidts EN-DE |

cinch = chinch Explanation: in the southern US. A chinch is someone who is chinchy (cheap, miserly). Does this fit your context? It's still slangy, by the way. |
