tiene que pesar or pasar la carta???

I think this was just misspelled, but in either case, what does this "modismo" mean... do we have an equivalent in English?

It's literal not a modismo. Mediterrunio thank you. It surprises me when Spanish speakers are so confused, glad to get a sincere answer! - pilipina, FEB 26, 2010

Tiene que pesar la carta para saber cuánto cuesta enviarla. = to weigh

Tiene que pasar la carta por debajo de la puerta = to pass

Please remember: More context, better answers.

I write notes only as I interpret by video & sometimes can't remember context sorry! - pilipina, FEB 26, 2010
In English we have so many different words for "pasar", this is often confusing to me. - pilipina, FEB 26, 2010
you have more words for pasar in Spanish too! Por ej: Deslizar la carta por debajo de la puerta. - mediterrunio, FEB 26, 2010
