Tu casa es una pasada

Question

I think "una pasada" means "a great thing" or "great". Our dictionary has no meaning of that sort, but instead lists "wipe" as the meaning of pasada. Does it mean great thing? Gracias.

Answer 1

Well that would be good for the phrasebook when we get a chance, for sure 'amazing' would be a good translation. And you can use it negatively too, una mala pasada - like a dirty trick. Oh, and 'qué pasada' like saying 'holy cow!'

¡qué pasada! - bad or good, just 'holy cow' - margaretbl, Sep 1, 2010
