peer agreement (net): +2see explanation... Explanation: Hi! "Tamaño" is there for emphasis. The phrase means: "you've scared me a lot". The only similar thing that comes to mind right now is something a friend recently wrote to me about somebody else: "xxx scares the daylights out of me", so maybe (if you like my friend's way of putting it!) you could say "You've scared the daylights out of me" HTH Andrea own experience :-) |
