No darse por aludido/aludida

Question

When someone doesn't get it this is an expression that comes in handy in Spanish to express this idea.

Example:

No importa cuántas veces ignore sus comentarios en el foro, él no se da por aludido.

No matter how often I ignore his forum comments, he still doesn't get it.

Answer 1

Maybe:

"He just doesn't get the hint/message."

He just can't seem to put two and two together"

Answer 2

I don't think "doesn't get it" is the best translation.

More commonly, "no darse por aludido" is translated as "doesn't take a hint" or "pretends not to listen".

"Doesn't get it" means "(simplemente) no lo entiende".

Answer 4

To Gfreed ---> Pasar por alto can be done consciously or not. It means to omit or overlook something, whereas no darse por aludido means to choose to ignore the message on purpose.

Thank you for the explanation. - 0074b507, Mar 7, 2011
