To get around to doing something?

Question

Hello,

I was wondering if there was a way of expressing "to get around to doing something" in Spanish? I know you could say something like tener la ocasión/ la oportunidad but I wanted a phrase that would get at the laziness/casualness of the English expression.

Thanks for your help,

Jenny

Answer 1

You could say, "cuando me de la gana" - which really means "when i feel like it." That basically has the same effect, but I'm not sure about a direct translation.

Answer 2

Another common expression for this feeling is "Cuando me dé tiempo."
