How do you say PARA HACERTE MAS CORTO EL CUENTO in English?
As you can see in the picture, the expression is TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT (you can also say LONG STORY SHORT). It is like saying I´m going to give you nothing but the facts.
For some reason that escapes me there is a connotation to this expression in English and that is TOO LATE. It is perhaps a reference to the fact that by the time this is expression is said there is nothing we can do to solve the problem we're told.

I had never heard that expression but now that I know it, it would be very useful for future conversations with friends o family.
This connotation is new to me, but nevertheless, something so short says a lot.
It seems to me that this type of information is very useful, especially the message given in the photo and that every day we can learn something new.

I had never heard this expression before, I think is indispensable to know and say expression like this.

I had heard this expression before on internet but I didn't memorize it, so I think I'm not going to forget it.
I've already heard it in the series that I watched, but I never focus on that expression. Now I can say that never forget it in my life.
I've come across this word before in some movies or any other podcast I've heard in the past, really useful when we want to give a quick rundown on something
It is interesting how we can understand some expressions in English language since in Spanish it would be interpreted with a different meaning
To be honest, I was not aware about that connotation of this expression. It’s great to keep learning something. From now on, I will use this expression more often.
It is always good to know expressions that help us to function in everyday life, and this expression is undoubtedly very useful to save us explanations regarding some fact.
I think that is very important to learn diferents expressions, because we can improve our vocabulary, thanks for this. We can use in a future conversations.
I think this is a kind of advice that explain that to learn or teach is'nt necessary to complicate, really is the quality that matters.
It is good for us to acquire new knowledge that benefits us in the future and this example is one of them. On my side I didn't know about this, but now I am learning something new and I like that because I can develop and expand my vocabulary.
Thank you for teaching us new things. I am sure I will be able to use it in different situations.
Wow, I already have a new phrase for my vocabulary, I think it is very useful information, and I liked the picture is funny.
