:) Hi! "the truth without doubt and without changes" or you could say " the truth, with no doubt and no changes." both are equally correct. Nice to see more idioms! - renaerules, FEB 26, 2010

la verdad amarga: to mean the discuss that can cause to somebody to learn about its own shortcoming or character defects.

This one should say: a discussion that can lead someone to learn about their own shortcomings or character defects. smile

These are great Juluque! There have been many requests for idioms on this site.

Hi Julu: I believe a clearer, less wordy version should be: "to point out a truth about someone's shortcomings and character defects." - renaerules, FEB 26, 2010
great, i edited, love this thread where we can interact and collaborate and learn both ways. - juluque, FEB 26, 2010

la verdad amarga:

There is an expression in English "The bitter truth". It refers to something that is true but one usually does not want to hear. Is this the same as "La verdad amarga"?
