What does "no ya pasó" mean in English?

Question

I was talking to my friend from the Dominican Republic and I asked him if he told his girlfriend about something... and he replied "No ya pasó."

En espanol:

Yo fui hablando con mi amigo de La Republica Dominican y yo le pregunté "has dicho tu novia?" Y él contestó "no ya pasó" Qué significa?

(Yo sé mi español no está perfecto)

Answer 1

I believe it means "No it is over" or that he did not tell his girlfriend about something because they are no longer in a relationship.

El SpanishNovice11 tiene razón, quiso decir que la relación ya había terminado. Pero si quieres también puedes hablar conmigo en español, tengo micrófono y cámara web, solo envía un mensaje. Mi acento es neutral. - GexThunderstrom, Jun 12, 2014

Answer 2

This is one of those times when punctuation makes a difference. If he said, "No. Ya pasó," then he's likely saying he didn't tell her because it's over (maybe the relationship, maybe the issue under discussion). But "No ya pasó," without amy punctuation other than the final period, would mean that it isn't over and might indicate that he hasn't told her because he's waiting for something to reach a conclusion.
