chupito

Hola, soy nuevo en el foro.

Buscaba una traducción para este término, ya que las dos que encuentro en la red no me convencen:

"Cortar por lo sano"

"retirarse, antes de tener más perdidas".

Gracias.

Hola chupito !! I've heard the expression "to make a clean break"

Hope it helps

Thanks Hebe!

I'm afraid I didn't make myself clear!

What I do want is a Spanish expression for the idiom:

To cut one's losses.


Thanks anyway.

Not at all CHupito. It was my fault. What I would like to know is the context in which you are using the expression so I can help you better. Are you using it as a slang? Becasue the plain translation of the phrase is "reducir pérdidas". However if you are using it as an idiomatic expression I would need some context to pick up the right phrase

Bets regards

I agree with Hebe, "reducir pérdidas" is a good choice.

Do you think it could be "minimizar pérdidas" as well?
