B2 Expression 非正式

No tragar a alguien.

Can't stand someone.

意思

To dislike someone intensely, to find someone unbearable or annoying.

🌍

文化背景

In Spain, 'no tragar' is often used in the context of 'tertulias' (social debates). It's very common to hear it in bars when talking about football rivals or politicians. While 'no tragar' is used, Mexicans often prefer 'caer gordo' or 'no pasar'. 'Ese tipo me cae gordísimo' is a very common alternative. Argentines use 'no bancar' (from 'banco', to support/hold up). If you don't 'bancás' someone, you can't stand their weight. In Colombia, you might hear 'no masticar' (not to chew). It adds an extra layer to the digestive metaphor—you can't even start the process of accepting them.

🎯

Use 'ni en pintura'

If you want to sound like a native, always add 'ni en pintura' when you really want to emphasize your dislike.

⚠️

Watch the 'me'

Remember: 'No trago' = I don't like. 'No me trago' = I don't believe. This is a very common B2 error.

自我测试

Complete the sentence with the correct form of 'tragar' and the personal 'a' if necessary.

Yo no ________ mi vecino porque siempre hace ruido.

✓ 正确! ✗ 不太对。 正确答案: trago a

The subject is 'Yo' (trago) and the object is a person (vecino), so we need the personal 'a'.

Which sentence expresses the strongest dislike?

Choose the most emphatic option:

✓ 正确! ✗ 不太对。 正确答案: No trago a Juan ni en pintura.

Adding 'ni en pintura' makes the expression of dislike absolute and very strong.

Complete the dialogue naturally.

A: ¿Quieres que invite a Marta a la cena? B: ¡No, por favor! Sabes que ________.

✓ 正确! ✗ 不太对。 正确答案: no la trago

Marta is female, so we use the direct object pronoun 'la'. 'No me la trago' would mean 'I don't believe her lie'.
