How would you ask "are you getting cold feet?"

Question

If you want to ask someone if they are backing out is there a phrase for "getting cold feet" what does caminando por detras mean? could that be translated as getting cold feet?

Many thanks

Answer 1

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

In Mexico, you can say something similar:

él se hizo pato

To mean

He got cold feet.

You could also say

Se entró el miedo.

Thanks again, I think both of these would sound about right - I'll use them and see what responses I get! - Campbell2011, Sep 28, 2011

I the phrasebook echarse atrás; means: cold feet like you are getting cold feet before your wedding. Thats all I can tell you right now.

Thanks for this, it sounds about right because I know its not a literal translation - Campbell2011, Sep 28, 2011
