\u00a1Hola! \u00bfC\u00f3mo est\u00e1s?<\/em><\/p>\n

I particularly like idioms because they give a special flavor when we speak a language. Some days ago a friend invited me to spend New Year’s Eve at a party in a city nearby and I told him, “I’ll sleep on it”.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, I started thinking how to say that in Spanish and I came up with an answer (if you have more options, please let me know): consultarlo con la almohada<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This means that you’re going to consult it with the pillow, really “sleeping on it”. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n

Yo que t\u00fa no me apurar\u00eda. Cons\u00faltalo con la alhomada.
\nIf I were you I wouldn’t hurry. Sleep on it.<\/em><\/p>\n

Es un proyecto muy grande, mejor lo consultes con la almohada antes de tomar tu decisi\u00f3n.
\nThat’s a very big project, you’d better sleep on it before making your decision.<\/em><\/p>\n

Tras consultarlo con la almohada llegu\u00e9 a la conclusi\u00f3n de que no quiero hacerlo.
\nAfter sleeping on it I came to the conclusion that I don’t want to do it.<\/em><\/p>\n

So, have you been consult\u00e1ndolo con tu almohada<\/em> about something lately?<\/p>\n
