cuando te pasan la cuenta

Question

Qué significa la frase " y cómo cambian las cosas cuando te pasan la cuenta " por favor?

Answer 1

Word for word it means "how things change when they hand you the bill" This is probably a popular regional saying something like "Things change when the ball is in your court" or maybe something like "How things change when it's your responsibility."

I normally refer people with simple translations to the translator program. I checked it out to see what it would say, and the word for word was not accurate.

Maybe someone will throw more light on this.

Makes perfect sense to me. You look at things differently when you have to pay. - Winkfish, Mar 15, 2015
