It's not working out

Question

No resultará. No quiero volverte a ver.

So No resultará means it's not working out?

Gracias

• I am confused by this question coming from you, Jeezle. You know that "no resultará" is in the future tense. How can it possibly be "it's not working"? - Gekkosan Jan 22, 2012

Answer 1

I'm guessing:

It won't work out. I don't want to see you again.

Answer 2

I agree with Sally. It´s the same as "Nothing will come of it."

Answer 3

Nothing will come of it = it's not working out.

This is not the problem. That's extended reasoning, perhaps according to what you have in mind. However, the original question stated:

It's not working out - No resultará, No quiero volverte a ver.

To me these two elements are not equivalent.

It's not working out: no está funcionando, esto no va bien. We need to talk, fix this, figure out what's going on.

No resultará: this will not work out. Nothing will come of it. No point in continuing. No matter what we do, this will not pan out, so we might as well drop it.

To me, logically, "not working out" is not the same as "will not work out".

• Although I see it, it seems a bit like semantics. My intention was, we're over and I think they both work for it. ;) - jeezzle Jan 22, 2012
• Right, in which case you need to either say: esto no está funcionando, dejémoslo así, or esto no va a funcionar, mejor terminemos. - Gekkosan Jan 22, 2012

Nothing will come of it = it's not working out.

• It is not working out so nothing will come of it. - ian-hill Jan 22, 2012
