This is to see if Spanish learners can translate this into English:

¡Qué cara!

Thanks.

The first thing that came mind was "What a face!", but it's probably wrong.

Well, it can have three meanings:

a. What a cheek! is one of them

b. What a face! is another one (it is to attract attention to someone's face).

c. How expensive! is another meaning. When something is expensive. It describes a femenine noun.

I believe Ian Hill and Lorenzo are correct, "what a cheek", or "what nerve".

Qué cara tienes - What a cheek you've got - You've got a nerve.

This does not mean you Nila, hehe.

I agree with Brynleigh, "How expensive!" and because it ends in "a" and not "o" this adjective describes a feminine noun?

I saw this in a flashcard the other day so it wasn't a mystery to me, but it's good to know I can remember something for 24 hrs. at least.
