Question

Can you tell me what "todo lo contrario" means?
It's in a high school spanish book I picked up.

Answer 1

You could have used the three translator engines on this site to determine the translation:

And while the engines sometimes may not be completely accurate, there are, of course, nuances in both Spanish and English.

Basically, this phrase means

• ‘[it’s] all the opposite’ ‘completely the opposite’ or in more elaborate words ‘it is quite completely the contrary’

Other translations include:

• The opposite
• all the contrary
• quite the opposite
