Translation: That's my thing.

Question

What would be an equivalent form of "That's my thing" in Spanish?

It's kind of related to having an inclination to (do) something or a skill... or a liking/preference. So, for example, people can say:

(1) Robert likes science, but math is (more) my thing.

(2) She wanted to go to the movies, but I told her that wasn't really my thing.

(3) Some people like to go to spas, but writing is my thing.

(4) Hiking? Never...but swimming? Now, that's my thing.

I suppose one could say Me inclino a ... or Tengo tendencia but I wan't to know if there was something less "rigid" (read: more fun & hip ). Anyway, I hope the examples helped. Thank you.

Answer 1

That's my thing could be translate "eso es lo mío"

1) A Robert le gusta ciencias, pero la matemática es lo mío.

2) Ella quiere ir al cine pero yo le dije que eso no era lo mío.

3) Algunas personas les gusta ir a los "spas" pero escribir es lo mío.

4) ¿Escalar? Nunca... ¿pero nadar? Eso sí que es lo mío.

I hope this was helpful.
