Practice not being too literal # 52

Question

As my title says, I am trying to learn to not be literal in translations, so every day I will post a saying in English and ask for suggestions as to how to convey the thought in Spanish. At the end of the day, I will pick the answer that I think most accurately reflects the idea, and I will choose it as best answer for 20 points to the respondent.

Today's phrase is, "you take the cake."

Good luck!

Gracias, kdrinning. It makes us think, anyway. - annierats, Sep 26, 2012

Answer 1

You take the cake and I take the cream?

This is suffering from cultural differences, I've never heard ' You take the cake'. Perhaps : You take the biscuit, meaning you're the prizewinningly stupid fool?

En Español: ¡Eres tonto!

Same thing amiga - you are correct. - ian-hill, Sep 25, 2012
