How would you say, "look who's talking"

Question

I'm pretty sure its not " mira quien habla" because I got weird looks when I said that. What is the equivalent in spanish?

Thanks, good question! - Sheily, Mar 22, 2011

Answer 1

"El Burro hablando de orejas..."

That's what I was going to post! I love this expression. - rodneyp, Jan 14, 2015

Answer 2

I suppose a better question is what is the spanish expression equivalent to "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones"?

Answer 3

It's an interesting question! In a film I saw, "¡mira quien habla!" was the Spanish sub-title for "look who's talking!" So, this is not correct? I'm concerned sometimes that learning vocabulary/phrases through the use of film sub-titles may actually be the wrong thing to do; it seems to me, that at times, the translation is "too literal".

For example, in another film "prueba de agua" was the sub-title for "water-proof", which seems odd to me, but perhaps it is correct!

you can use impermeable for waterproof but i think when it comes to mascara etc 'a prueba de agua' works too :) - Kiwi-Girl, Mar 22, 2011

Answer 4

I would simply say, "chequea quien habla" or more properly "chequea quien esta hablando". jaja good question

Mira quién habla, with an accent - Eddy, Mar 22, 2011

I just looked in a previous post and it seems as well, "mire quién habla" would be acceptable as well. - DJ_Huero, Mar 22, 2011

Mira or Mire both work... it would depend on whether or not, you want to be formal. =) - DJ_Huero, Mar 22, 2011

See here in the imperative section for questions of when to use which conjugation. http://www.spanishdict.com/conjugate/mirar - DJ_Huero, Mar 22, 2011

Answer 5

Escucha quién esta hablando. Listen who's talking, another way of expressing the same sentiment.
