Hacerse la vista gorda

To turn a blind eye

意思

To pretend not to notice something wrong, ignoring it intentionally.

🌍

文化背景

In Spain, the phrase is often used in the context of 'picaresca' (roguishness). It's sometimes seen as a social skill to know when to ignore minor rules to keep things moving. In Mexico, this can be related to 'mordidas' (bribes), where an official might 'hacerse la vista gorda' after receiving a small payment. It's a common theme in social critique. Argentines might use 'hacerse el sota' as a more slangy alternative, but 'hacerse la vista gorda' remains the standard for formal or semi-formal complaints about corruption. In Colombia, the phrase is frequently used in political discourse to describe the 'indiferencia' of the state toward rural problems.

⚠️

Don't use for accidents

If you genuinely didn't see something, just say 'No lo vi'. Using this phrase implies you saw it and chose to ignore it.
