peer agreement (net): +10nunca/ni lo vio venir Explanation: This is kind of like Gabriela's and is what I had thought of originally when I saw this question. Neither one of our answers has the exact same meaning, and I'm sure we're both conscious of this. There might be an equivalent (100%) expression, but I can't think of it now. I would suggest waiting for more options. PS. If you want the exact same meaning, you might just have to actually phrase it "nunca supo qué fue lo que le pegó/ ocurrió / etc." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 35 mins (2007-04-10 02:55:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or, for the phrasing "nunca se enteró" is another possibility as well |
